The Soraya Pouch

€30.00
sold out

This versatile pouch is the perfect companion in your everyday life as it carries all your daily essentials.

Dimensions: 15 x 23 cm
Weight: 100 grams

We honour this pattern by deciding to call it ���Soraya���. This pattern was co-created and co-designed by women from diverse backgrounds with at least five different languages spoken between them. "color:#4d5156">The word ���Soraya��� is derived from the Arabic name for the Pleiades, the 7 stars cluster. In Greek mythology, the "color:#5f6368">Pleiades are seven sisters, and daughters of Atlas - who were turned into stars by Zeus.

While stars are single and separate from each other, the Pleiades stand apart from nearly everything else in the night sky by being clustered together, making it one of the brightest star clusters.

Like single stars in the night sky, the women came together and connected despite their different cultures, backgrounds and language barriers, producing this stunning pattern. Soraya commemorates harmony, strength and sisterhood.

Designed and handcrafted by refugee women

Eco-friendly packaging made from recycled paper

Our hand-made goods help refugee and asylum-seeking women in Greece who are survivors of gender-based violence, both share their stories and build their livelihoods. Every purchase goes directly back to the Pomegranate Project supporting the women refugee community of Athens with shelter, psychosocial support, social work, and a living wage.
