Collection: Small items bags/salt bags
History and Background
Kilims and salt bags are deeply rooted in the lives of nomadic people. Nomads were mobile and needed easy-to-carry storage items. These bags were used to store everyday items, valuables, and even seasonings such as salt. Salt bags in particular needed to be carefully stored, as salt was a precious resource.
Materials and Techniques
These bags are primarily woven from wool, chosen for its durability and flexibility, and are often dyed with natural dyes. The hand-weaving technique allows for very fine and intricate designs to be achieved. The salt bags in particular are very intricately woven despite their small size, a testament to the high level of craftsmanship.
Uses and modern applications
Traditionally, trinket bags and salt bags were used for practical purposes, but today they are appreciated for their beautiful designs and are popular as decorative items. For example, they can be hung on the wall as an interior accent, or used as bags or pouches. They also make great handmade accessories and gifts.
