Leatherworking
The leather work represents an art in the Berber culture of North Africa especially for the Tuaregs. Animals are bred for food, clothes, bags, saddles, and water bags, rugs, shoes, wallets and many other items used in their everyday lives. Everything is done by hand. Sometimes you noticed some imperfections with the items, that is because no machines were used. Sometimes products are slightly different than what you see on the pictures, and that is for the same reason. Please let us know if you don't agree with that.
The leather for its flexibility and resistance is used for making a multitude of objects in Algeria (horse saddles, slippers, cushions, handbags, etc. ...). The most active centres are the highlands, the Hoggar and the Mzab. Big cities like Tlemcen, Constantine retained the expertise of artisan tannery (debbaghines), but now this knowledge is lost faced with competition from Europe.
The craft of Tuareg in this area presents originalities such as taghallabt, an object shaped wallet or aghreg, which is a travel bag. The leather of the region comes from goats or camels. It is coloured with copper oxide giving it green hues and decorated with symbols of the Tifinagh inspired alphabet.
In Kabylia, sheepskins and goatskins are also sometimes transformed to make bags and travel bags without decoration.Currently the Algerian leather sector is in crisis and needs rehabilitation due to globalization and severe competition (Inspiration from Wikipedia.org)

Would like to say how great the products and service are from this site. I ordered a DVD which I received within two days. The DVD, which featured a family in the Kabyle region, is really informative and is a good introduction to Amazigh culture. Thanks so much for providing such great site!!!

Un tout tout grand merci pour votre gentille réponse, Hacene! Oui, je sais que les parlers berbères sont très nombreux. En décembre j'étais dans la région des Kel Tamacheq près de Djanet, rien À voir avec la langue berbère du Haut-Atlas au Maroc. Et j'ai en effet l'impression d'entendre des différences entre la langue d'Inzanzaren et de Tinariwen! Vous etes Kabyle d'Algérie... donc vous parlez plutot comme Idir ;-!? Je profiterais de votre gentillesse en vous demandant ceci. Savez-vous comment je pourrais écrire : BON COURAGE A TOUTE LA FAMILLE dans une langue berbère la plus proche de celle parlée dans le Haut-Atlas (ce cher ami qui a perdu son papa habite dans "La Vallée heureuse") ? MERCI encore Hacene. Et le meilleur À vous, Alessandra.

My order was shipped promptly and I was happy with the quality of it, however I don't feel the packaging was adequate for an overseas / airmail package. I always felt confident that this business offered a personal service and that I could contact Mr.Hacene should I require any help. Improvements I would like to suggest are: - that more specific measurements are added to items, so customers can know exactly what to expect as this makes the shopping process easier - that overseas shipments are packaged more securely / adequately to prevent damage to items - that more stock such as women's jewellery items from the Chaoui region could be added. In conclusion I would like express great happiness in finding an English language business that offers North African products such as those from Kabylia. The website is also a nice cultural resource for those who wish to know more about aspects of some of the Algerian cultures. Thank you Hacene. Keep up the good work, Allahumma barik!

Hello Hacène, I am happy to report that yesterday the beautiful dresses have arrived. I think they are beautiful. The symbols are perfect and so unique! I am very happy with the dresses and I will make sure you get a picture of me wearing it at my wedding day. My appreciation to you is great and the dresses coming now made this very difficult time a little brighter. Warm regards, Margie R.
