FAQs

A khorjin is a traditional double-sided storage bag woven by nomadic and tribal peoples in Persia and the Caucasus, historically used for transporting belongings on pack animals.

These bags were typically constructed using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the flatweave backing, often dyed with natural vegetable and insect-based colourants.

Authenticity is determined by evaluating the wool quality, the complexity of the natural dye palette, the hand-knotted pile structure, and traditional tribal motifs characteristic of the specific weaving region.

Antique saddlebags are frequently displayed flat as wall hangings, framed as textile art, or used decoratively across benches and tables to introduce texture and historical depth.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming with a mesh screen protector, keeping items out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and maintaining stable indoor humidity levels.
