These were originally handmade storage bags used during the Baluchi tribal migration throughout Afghanistan as well as for general storage purposes - they are semi antique with lots of character and are very hard wearing. Please note that as these cushions (in some cases), are old pieces they are very rustic, and occasionally have  repairs and small holes, so please don't expect perfection! This tribal group from Afghanistan are also known as Beluch, Balouch, Belouch, Baluchi and Belouchi.

If you purchase this item unstuffed you will need to sew it up to close it as it is an original piece and the tribes people don't use zips! If you would like your cushion stuffed, please purchase the recommended sized filler by ticking the box next to the cushion to add the filler to your basket, we will then stuff and sew it up ready for you.
