A Peace Treaty

A Peace Treaty was launched by Farah Malik, a Pakistani Muslim, and Dana Arbib, a Libyian Jew. Their aim is to create "employment for skilled artisans working in places of socio-political strife, effectively supporting their craft while elevating their products to the level of high design for an exlusive, international audience." (quoted from www.apeacetreaty.com)

"Each scarf is hand-sourced from a different region of Pakistan, where, as with Scotland's tartans, weaving techniques are indigenous to specific areas. This means that local craftspeople get to continue to hone their skills while earning a living. Each scarf takes approximately two months to complete, and only 30 of each style are made." (quoted from http://men.style.com)

A Peace Treaty wurde von Farah Malik, einer Moslemin aus Pakistan, und Dana Arbib, einer Jüdin aus Libyen, gegründet. Die Schals der Marke A Peace Treaty kommen aus den verschiedenen Regionen Pakistans, in denen jeweils bestimmte Webetechniken heimisch sind. Die dort ansässigen Kunsthandwerker können so ihre Fertigkeiten bewahren und erhalten einen fairen Lohn. Es dauert ca. zwei Monate einen Schal zu weben und von jedem Entwurf werden nur 30 Stück produziert.
