Ecuador-born founders, Margarita and Goya enriched their embroidery, crochet and hand-drawn threadwork expertise with Egyptian cotton, whilst creating sustainable paths and economic independence for underprivileged Egyptian women and refugees. The self-funded embroidery school and brand use Egyptian cotton grown in the lush, warm conditions of the Nile River Valley – arguably the softest, smoothest and strongest cotton in the world.
