Fishing bibs, known locally as \“machli pakarnay wali apron\“ in Urdu, hold significant cultural value in Pakistan\“s coastal communities. These waterproof garments are essential for traditional fishermen in Sindh and Balochistan provinces who engage in both inland and deep-sea fishing.
In Pakistani fishing culture, bibs are often handmade using locally available materials like recycled tarpaulin or treated cotton cloth. The designs frequently incorporate traditional patterns and colors that reflect regional identities. Many fishing families pass down bib-making techniques through generations, preserving this aspect of maritime heritage.
During important fishing seasons and festivals, specially decorated bibs are worn as part of cultural celebrations. The craftsmanship of these garments represents the resilience and adaptability of Pakistani fishing communities who have maintained their livelihoods despite changing economic and environmental conditions. |
