Check out my other items!This type of bag is hand made by recycling good parts of vintage authentic hand wovenPersianKilims gathered fromdifferentparts of Iran (Persia). Because of that each bag has it\'s own unique design and color depending on the type, color and design of the Kilim used to make each bag.
Although the bag itself is new and never used, but you may spot signs of wear from the vintage Kilims used to make the bag which adds a vintage and authentic element to the design.
Kilims (Persian: گلیم‎ gelim) are flat tapestry-woven carpets or rugs produced from the Balkans to Pakistan. Kilims can be purely decorative or can function as prayer rugs. Recently-made kilims are popular floor-coverings in Western households.
The term \'kilim\' originates from the Persian gelim (گلیم) where it means \'to spread roughly\'. Various forms of the word are used in other languages (e.g. Turkish: kilim, Greek: κιλίμι, Bosnian: ćilim, Albanian: qilim, Polish: kilim, Bulgarian: килим \'kylym\', Polish: kilim, Template:Lang-uk/килим,\'kylym\', Lithuanian kilimas, Kurdish: berr.
Kilims are produced by tightly interweaving the warp and weft strands of the weave to produce a flat surface with no pile. Most kilim weaves are \"weft-facing\", i.e., the horizontal weft strands are pulled tightly downward so that they hide the vertical warp strands.
When the end of a color boundary is reached, the weft yarn is wound back from the boundary point. Thus, if the boundary of a field is a straight vertical line, a vertical slit forms between the two different color areas where they meet. For this reason, most kilims can be classed as \"slit woven\" textiles. The slits are beloved by collectors, as they produce very sharp-etched designs, emphasizing the geometry of the weave. Weaving strategies for avoiding slit formation, such as interlocking, produce a more blurred design image.
The weft strands, which carry the visible design and color, are almost always wool, whereas the hidden warp strands can be either wool or cotton. The warp strands are only visible at the ends, where they emerge as the fringe. This fringe is usually tied in bunches, to ensure against loosening or unraveling of the weave.
