The Tuareg people are part of the larger Berber group, one of the oldest indigenous populations in North Africa. As desert-dwelling nomads, the Tuareg have long relied on their resourcefulness and skills to survive in harsh environments. Their mastery of leatherworking stems from a need for durable, functional items that could endure the desert's conditions. Tuareg are known for their rich cultural heritage, including their exceptional skills in leather craft. For centuries, they have created intricate leather goods, blending practical function with artistic expression.
