A Perfect Gift for Valentine's Day: Rubia Heart Sachets

Each heart is different in color and design.

Show some LOVE for Afghan artisans as well as your sweetheart, mother, or sister this Valentine's Day. 

Send an exquisite sachet  hand- embroidered by Afghan women. Skilled hands of women, young and old, stitch traditional designs with plant-dyed threads.  Indigo blue peacocks,   persimmon orange swirling suns, Rubia* red poppies, any of these ancient patterns could adorn your heart sachet.  

Each item is a unique piece of folk art.  

Let us choose one for you.  These fragrant hearts are filled with organic lavender and backed with recycled silk and taffeta from bridal gowns.  Your purchase benefits marginalized women who earn a fair wage for  their time-intensive handwork.  At the same time, it  preserves their heritage art form—women’s hand embroidery. In Afghanistan, years of war have endangered this cultural tradition, passed from the fingers of mothers to daughters for centuries.
