Şırnak’s Beytüşşebap district is a settlement that stands out with its deep-rooted Kurdish culture and rich traditions.

One of the most striking reflections of this cultural richness is traditional Kurdish clothing.

It is not possible to talk about a single traditional clothing in Beytüşşebap; each village, each family has its own unique patterns, colors and clothing styles.

The wearable form of cultural identity

Traditional Kurdish clothing is not just clothing; it is a cultural symbol that reflects the history, culture and sense of belonging of a community.

These clothes are especially worn:

👗 At weddings

🕊️ On holidays

🎉 On special days and social events.

The patterns, colors and embroideries on the clothes are closely related to the geography, mythology and nature of the region.

Each motif points to a story or experience.

Traditional clothing and social bond

Keeping these traditional clothes alive in Beytüşşebap is not just an individual choice; It is also a sign of community awareness and solidarity.

These clothes help individuals express their cultural identity, emphasize their origins and establish a bond with the community.

Culture is kept alive at the sewing machine

Necibe Durmuş and Hatice Durmuş, who sew traditional Kurdish clothes in Beytüşşebap, are two important figures who continue to keep this cultural heritage alive.

The Durmuş sisters, who have been designing local clothes for years, state that these clothes are still popular among both the local people and the youth.

A balanced transition between modern and traditional

Although modern clothing styles have become widespread among the youth, the wearing of traditional clothes is still strong.

While some young people prefer these clothes only on special occasions, others use them in their daily lives.
