About the Tuareg & Their Leather Art
The Tuareg are a Saharan nomadic people, historically famed for camel caravans that powered trans‑Saharan trade until mid‑20th century. Their presence was first noted by Herodotus, and over 2,000 years they migrated southward to what is now Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, and beyond.
Tuareg leather art used for bags, panels, mats, and wallets ,is hand‑cut, dyed, and often embossed with traditional geometric motifs symbolizing clan identity, protection, and desert life. These pieces are functional yet symbolic.
Their artistic legacy extends to metalwork jewelry, ornate saddles, and finely crafted swords each carrying distinctive symbols and cultural significance.
Own a piece of Sahara nomad legacy, steeped in centuries of tradition and craftsmanship.
