Handmade crochet bags, from Waziristan.
DURKHO is a small atelier. We make crochet bags, embroidered bags and a few crochet accessories, by hand, one piece at a time, and send them to homes all over Pakistan.
What we make
Every DURKHO piece is crocheted or embroidered individually in Waziristan. We work with cotton-acrylic yarn and with techniques that have been passed down in the region for generations: puff stitch, basketweave, granny squares and hand embroidery.
The collection is small on purpose. Right now it is 7 pieces: shoulder totes, crossbody bags, a bucket bag, a hair bandana and a waist scarf.

How a piece is made
- Yarn. We choose colours you can spot from across the street: marigold, mustard gold, deep teal, camel.
- Hands. The piece is crocheted or embroidered stitch by stitch.
- You. It is packed and delivered free to your door, anywhere in Pakistan.
No two are exactly alike
Because each piece is made by hand, small differences are normal: a stitch a little tighter here, a rose a little rounder there. We think that is the whole point. When you carry one, you carry the hands that made it.
How to order
Choose a piece, add it to your cart and fill in your delivery address. You can pay by JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank transfer; the account details are shown at checkout. Upload a screenshot of your payment and we confirm the order. Delivery is free across Pakistan.
More detail is on the shipping and payment page, and there are guides on choosing a crochet bag and looking after one on the blog.
