CULTURAL HERITAGE

Each piece in our marketplace is inspired by the Middle East and carefully curated with a contemporary style, while also preserving traditional techniques from the region. As a social enterprise, we focus on transparency and sustainability. We only collaborate with independent artists, small artisan groups, non-profits, local small businesses and social enterprises. Our artisan partners have invaluable techniques, representing a cultural heritage, that are at-risk of extinction due to war and conflict. These artisan communities have difficulty acquiring resources and selling their products on the global market. We focus on highlighting their handmade goods through marketing and design, boosting local production, and capacity building.

“We do not refer to our makers as refugees, they are our partners. Syrian artisans and their families, do not wish to be defined by displacement or war, but rather by their craftsmanship and preservation of a cultural heritage.”
