Karatay belt is a type of traditional Turkish belt that is made using a specific weaving technique. It is named after the Karatay region of Turkey, where this belt is believed to have originated.

Karatay belts are typically made from wool or cotton yarns, which are woven into a flat band using a special technique called “kilim weaving.” This technique involves interlacing the yarns in a specific pattern to create a strong and durable fabric with a decorative design. Karatay belts often feature geometric motifs and colorful patterns.

In Turkey, Karatay belts are traditionally worn as a decorative accessory with traditional clothing, such as the Turkish folk costume. They are often worn at the waist to cinch in loose-fitting clothing or to add a pop of color and texture to an outfit.

Karatay belts are also popular as souvenirs and gifts for tourists visiting Turkey. They can be found in various sizes, colors, and patterns, and can be used as decorative accents in home decor or as a unique accessory to add a touch of Turkish culture to an outfit.
