A craft brought from home — and given a second life.
Abir Tarraf went to school for handcrafts and arts in Lebanon long before she ever thought of running a business. It was something she loved, then set aside.
After moving to the United States, marriage and five children filled the years. The hobby stayed quiet — making the occasional souvenir or gift for family and friends, but nothing more. Then the children grew up. And they were the ones who pushed: show people your work.
So she did. Beaded bags, purses, wallets, souvenirs — every piece fully handmade, fully customizable, one of a kind. The hardest part wasn't the making. It was getting the work out there, finding the people who would see the craftsmanship and value it.
A few years in, the business is hers — built with the support of her husband and kids. What she's proudest of is the growth, and the people she's met along the way. The journey is the work.
