Na’in, a city in Isfahan province, is launching an initiative to globally register its traditional cloak weaving, led by local cultural and commercial organizations. The Na’in cloak, with a history of over 200 years, is crafted from camel or sheep wool and has seen a decline in production and artisans due to economic challenges and changing interests among youth. Efforts to revive the craft include restoring workshops, supporting artists, and improving marketing strategies. Despite dwindling numbers, stakeholders are optimistic about securing global recognition and revitalizing Na’in’s unique cultural heritage, positioning the city as a potential tourist destination.
