FAQs

A vanity bag, or khorjin face, is a small woven pouch traditionally used by nomadic tribes in South Persia for storage or personal items during migration.

Authentic pieces are crafted from hand-spun sheeps wool with natural vegetable and insect dyes, resulting in rich hues of red, navy blue, and ivory.

Authentication involves examining the wool quality, asymmetric knotting, natural colour variations, and distinctive geometric or zoomorphic tribal motifs characteristic of the Kerman region.

These small pieces can be framed as wall art, displayed on flat surfaces, or incorporated into eclectic schemes to add texture and historical depth.

Preservation requires keeping the textile out of direct sunlight, avoiding excessive humidity, and occasionally vacuuming gently through a mesh screen to remove dust.
