Cimem Bags

Originated in the South Eastern Anatolian region of Turkey, Hatay ‘Cimem Weaving’ is an Anatolian traditional hand-weaving technique with wheat stems, adorned with vibrant natural-dyed and traditionally used for the representation of hand crafts or food.

Produced by the skilled hands of the Hazek Women’s Cooperative, the Cimem bags stand as a testament to the seamless connection between generations. Beyond the purpose of use, they echo the culmination of our collective voice advocating for culture, tradition, women’s empowerment, and the genuine embodiment of sustainability.

In a bid to revive our fading cultural heritage, Aslı Filinta partners with the esteemed Hazek Women’s Cooperative, undertaking a transformative journey to upcycle and ensure the continuity of this invaluable tradition. Formally used as wall decoration, is now available as a bag.

Please always try to shop responsibly and enjoy the ride not just the bag, as we are all together in this.
