Product Description:
A unique fusion of tradition and modern sustainability!
This beautiful handwoven tote bag, made from 100% natural cotton yarn, brings together the ancestral craftsmanship of Iranian tribes with functional contemporary design. The fabric is woven on traditional home looms by skilled artisans, and then carefully sewn by women heads of households in South Khorasan (Birjand).
What makes this tote truly special is the strap, crafted using the ancient Bakhtiari “Varis-Bafi” (card weaving) technique — a rare and nearly forgotten tribal art form, revived here as part of a functional, stylish, and eco-conscious accessory.
Whether you’re shopping, heading to work, or gifting a meaningful item, this eco-friendly, cultural tote bag makes a lasting impression.

About Varis-Bafi – The Art of Tribal Card Weaving:
Varis-Bafi is a traditional card-weaving technique practiced by the Bakhtiari people, one of Iran’s oldest tribal communities. Instead of using a loom, artisans weave using hole-punched cards to control the yarn — a method once used for creating durable cords, decorative straps, and functional bands for tents and garments in nomadic life.
Roostatish proudly revives this ancient craft in a modern, sustainable way, blending tribal identity with contemporary utility. Each tote bag is a piece of living heritage, connecting you to the spirit, resilience, and creativity of Iran’s nomadic women.
