Yellow Almas hand-embroidered cushion cover
The almas, or diamond, is an ancient motif that has been used in Syrian embroidery for centuries. This design is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional shape, giving it a new lease of life amongst bright hues of yellow, green and blue.
It has been painstakingly embroidered over a number of weeks by one of our incredible refugee artisans, who were forced to flee their homes due to the war, leaving everything behind. The women we work with now live in Lebanon, where there are no bombs, but where over 90% of refugees lack the money to buy enough food, according to the UN. Oshana provides a crucial and dignified income, and each and every purchase you make helps us to do this.
