Giveh or Givah (Persian: گیوه‎)is a kind of soft, comfortable, durable and handmade shoe that is common in several parts of Iran especially in rural and mountainous areas of Kermanshah Province. The production centers of Giveh are the provinces of Yazd and Kermanshah in Iran.

Giveh is made up of two parts: sole and upper. The sole is usually made of rubber or leather and the upper is made of fabric created using an ancient technique known as nalbinding (not weaving) that pre-dates knitting or crochet. Before the arrival of the rubber industry to the area, Giveh-makers would use a kind of wild-bull leather to make giveh and the upper was made of wool or cotton nalbound fabric. Most rich people would wear them. Since the arrival of the rubber industry, lower-class people have used rubber as the sole of their givehs.

Persian Giveh

Giveh is a type of traditional summer footwear, known for its lightness, durability, and suitability for long walks. Deeply rooted in Kurdish culture, this footwear is particularly made for men and is a celebrated craft in various provinces including Lorestan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kurdistan, Kermanshah, Ilam, Fars, Hamedan, Qazvin, Zanjan, Ilam-Kermanshah, Kurdistan, and West Azerbaijan. The entire production process of Giveh is manual, typically using carpet yarn, silk threads, and soles made from fabric, leather, or rubber.

Kurds refer to Giveh as ‘Kalash’ while the Lors call it ‘Azhieh.’

Originally, Giveh is not exclusive to any one tribe but is primarily associated with the Lors, Kurds, and Laks. Some Turks also adopt Giveh as footwear. It is particularly renowned as a regional souvenir from Lorestan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Kurdistan, and Kermanshah.

Beautiful items, great service!

My first time ordering from Persis for Nourooz gifts/card. I had an issue on the website so I emailed the next day. Arya assured me that my order had gone through along with the correct shipping address. Soon after on that same day, I got tracking info sent via email and received my order the very next day! All within 48 hours! The items are beautifully handcrafted and remind me how elegant and unique Persian art and style is. I love that I was sent a ceramic Nourooz egg as a gift in the box with my order. What a lovely touch, it made me so happy :) Everything was so carefully packaged and presented, it all arrived in perfect condition. I will definately order again and highly recommend this company as a genuine, high quality service where your custom is valued. Thank you to Arya and the Persis collection team.
