#NTM I wonder what the supply lines here are. Are you guys buying tulle bi telli made by Egyptians? Are the textile workers being paid

chasing fantasy costumers around with a stick for decontextualizing tulle bi telli and putting it on white characters in premodern settings
#Cipher talk#I'd be less mad if Egyptian stuff wasn't constantly decontextualized and if this fabric in particular wasn't so... used by orientalists#It's a Turkish technique imported to Egypt and refined. Westerners know about it because of colonialism. Its weird to see it as part of#People's 1920s aesthetic#NTM I wonder what the supply lines here are. Are you guys buying tulle bi telli made by Egyptians? Are the textile workers being paid#A fair price? Half of all Egyptians live in poverty and we struggle with cultural erosion because traditional culture isn't esteemed and#Tourists think it's appropriate to argue prices with artisans
