‘Lamsa’ means touch; a physical touch, an emotional touch, a special touch. A call to rethink and reimagine fashion as ethical and impactful.
Each crochet piece is unique, handmade with passion by Syrian and Lebanese artisans in Bekaa Valley, Lebanon.
Amidst protracted crisis, we experiment with color and pattern, nurturing beauty, joy and imagination through a caring design process. Our work is nurturing a sense of belonging. We are building a community of craftmakers to alleviate the pain of dispossession.
We work in partnership with community-based and Syrian-led NGO, Multi-Aid Programs.
Each purchase helps sustain a community of craft-makers in crisis, supporting the livelihood of 10 Syrian and Lebanese artisans.
All profits are directed towards the organization’s primary school, piloting an innovative model for cultivating community belonging and interdependency.
