Fishing bags hold significant cultural importance in Pakistan\“s coastal communities. Traditional Pakistani fishing bags, known locally as \“Jholas\“ or \“Bori\“, are typically handmade from natural materials like jute, cotton, or recycled fabric.
In Sindh\“s coastal areas, fishermen use specially designed bags that can withstand saltwater exposure. These bags often feature intricate embroidery patterns reflecting regional artistic traditions. The size and design vary based on the type of fish being caught - smaller bags for shrimp and larger ones for bigger catches.
Balochistan\“s fishing communities prefer durable leather bags treated with natural oils to prevent water damage. These bags often feature traditional motifs and are passed down through generations as family heirlooms.
Modern fishing bags in Pakistan now combine traditional designs with contemporary materials, creating a unique blend of cultural heritage and practical functionality that supports local livelihoods. |
