FAQs

Kurdish saddlebags were traditionally woven by nomadic and village weavers in the mountainous regions of Western Asia for practical transportation of goods, utilising durable wool and distinctive tribal motifs.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed using hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and foundation, dyed with natural vegetable colorants, and woven using asymmetrical or symmetrical knots.

Authentication involves examining the natural wool quality, organic dye variations, structural irregularities typical of hand-weaving, and traditional geometric iconography characteristic of Kurdish tribes.

These textile fragments are frequently mounted and framed as wall art or utilised as small accent mats to introduce texture, heritage, and rich colour palettes into contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a screen attachment, protection from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and avoiding excessive moisture or chemical cleaning agents.
