This vibrant vintage Baloch bag, traditionally handwoven using a mix of wool and cotton. Crafted by nomadic weavers of the Baloch tribes, this utilitarian textile was likely used as a saddlebag or storage pouch, often for carrying personal or household items on a camel's back.

The front panel displays richly patterned horizontal bands featuring geometric motifs, tribal symbols, and detailed brocade work. The palette bursts with saturated reds, blues, purples, and greens, while playful tufts and colourful tassels adorn the sides and corners, enhancing its tactile and decorative appeal. Notably, the bag includes intricate patchwork squares in the central panel, possibly for added durability or symbolic value.

This piece embodies the spirited aesthetics and skilled craftsmanship of Baloch weaving traditions, making it a prized collectable or an eye-catching textile accent in any global or bohemian interior.

Authentic antique and vintage Baloch textiles are hand-woven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
