"Handicrafts are the bridge between the past and the present. It is our identity and the basis of our material existence on the world map" Nora Al Qahtani
Nora Al Qahtani is an artisan who works in textiles, creating beautiful handmade silk pillowcases and covers, using quilting and applique. The textile patterns are inspired by the plasterwork found throughout historic Jeddah, with the vibrant colours echoing the architectural features and textiles of the buzzing seaside city. The silk collection pays homage to the history of Jeddah as a commercial port and meeting point for regional merchants to trade and sell their luxurious textiles and products.
