Clothing fashions date back to the period 40,000 – 25,000 BC. The first people to live on the land of the present Azerbaijan wore clothes made from natural materials (leather, artificial fibres leaves etc).

Stone-Age weaving

The development of weaving brought changes to the clothing people wore. Already by the late Neolithic – early Eneolithic periods, the number of woven clothes had increased; rather than appropriating readymade forms from nature, people were developing their own designs. Samples of material culture obtained during archaeological excavations on Azerbaijan’s territory (stone and bone awls, needles, spinning tools made from bone and clay, leather polishers made from bone etc) prove conclusively that the art of weaving developed during the Eneolithic and Bronze Ages.

Machine weaving played an important role in further developments in the textile arts. Remnants of fabric and parts of a weaving machine found during excavations in Mingechevir show that machine weaving was present in Azerbaijan in the early Middle Ages.



With the transition to machine weaving, the production of fabric and the weaving of clothes increased, as did the number and variety of clothes. As early as the 9th century BC, the Assyrian ruler Ashurnasirpal received clothes made from wool and colour wool fabric from Manna’s Zamya province as a tax levy. At this time, linen and wool were the main weaving materials and, in later periods, they were superseded by cotton and silk.

Herodotus, the “father of history” who lived in the 5th century BC, noted especially that fabrics of quality were woven in Azerbaijan, that tree leaves were used here to dye clothes naturally and that these adornments were durable.
