SKU: SD-005

Saddlebags, traditionally crafted by nomadic tribal communities, were originally designed for the purpose of transporting various items on donkeys, horses, and camels. These distinctive accessories feature a decorative touch, boasting two pouches attached at either end of a hand-knotted or hand-woven piece, often referred to as a "kelim." Beyond their original use, saddlebags have found a second life as versatile home decor items, adorning banisters, lounge chairs (for convenient magazine storage), or even upright chairs (serving as cozy cushions for both pouches). Over time, these saddlebags have gained popularity among collectors, appreciated for their craftsmanship and cultural significance.
