Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Giveh is footwear worn by men and women appropriate for warm weather and in mountainous areas of Iran. The traditional shoe soles are built with unique material pieces of cloth and are covered with hand-woven cotton or silk. As a unique type of footwear and clothing, Giveh is an integral part of garments. Every country is expected to be a part of preservation and restoration of the culture and to introduce a new generation of useful features as written sources found on the cloth. The aim of the present study is to identify the reasons for the boom in the industry with respect to the components and characteristics of anthropological study considering the manufacturing process of Giveh. It also tries to shed light on the craft and art of the indigenous people, i.e., the way they made the shoes with existing materials and environmental situation around them.
