🌿 About Varis-Bafi (Nomadic Card Weaving)

Varis-Bafi is a form of traditional card weaving used by nomadic tribes such as the Bakhtiari. Rather than large looms, artisans use hand-held punched cards to produce sturdy, decorative bands used in daily nomadic life. This technique is part of the cultural heritage of ancient civilizations and is now being revived in a modern context by Rostatishe, aiming to preserve endangered crafts and empower rural women.

📍 Region: Shazdeh Abdullah, Khuzestan

The Bakhtiari nomads of Shazdeh Abdullah spend winters in the Andika region of Khuzestan and summers in the mountains of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari. Despite their rich cultural legacy, many face socio-economic challenges. Through community-based facilitation, Rostatishe supports these artisans by reviving native handcrafts into functional, design-led products for the modern world.
