Abstract

<p>This paper illuminates the contemporary development of local hand-made crafts through the case study of patchwork rugs invented and produced in Türkiye (Turkey). Following the success of this new type of rug, digitally printed rugs made to look like patchwork rugs emerged in the 2010s, mass-produced at low prices both in Türkiye and abroad. This led to a gradual backgrounding of authenticity and questions of "whose" textiles are incorporated into each rug, to be replaced with only visual consumption and vintage atmosphere. While the impact of this trend on the existing hand-woven rug industry in Turkey is considerable, making a big splash in the global market and providing a boon to the stagnant domestic hand-woven rug industry, the producers and merchants of patchwork rugs are severely critical of them. I will examine their survival tactics showing how they work with patchwork rugs as commodities and how they deal with their dilemma.</p>
