Massa hand-embroidered cushion - tangerine
Massa is Arabic for diamond, and also happens to be the name of the eldest daughter of one of our incredible Syrian women artisans, Mona.
Mona fled Damascus as the bombs fell around her home, and arrived in Lebanon traumatised by loss. Through Oshana she has found independence, an income, and a supportive community.
She says: “My work renewed my hope and helped me stand back on my feet. I feel independent. I am earning my living and I don't need anyone. This work helped me and all the women that we work with, it helps us to pay the rent, buy food, and pay for our children's schooling fees.”
So this cushion is named not only for its original diamond pattern, but for Mona’s daughter Massa, who is going to school because of her mother’s work; because, if you like, of this cushion.
