Petra Orfali
Combining Traditional Touch With Modernity
Petra Orfali's brand gained fame when her handmade Bedouin jacket design went viral. Now she is giving women work - and independence! Laughter fills the small, bright workshop as the women, who are busy sewing, threading beads together, stitching tassels on pieces of fabric, chatter, and make jokes with one another. It is a room full of infectious warmth where visitors are welcomed with sweets and delicious Saudi Arabian coffee that is prepared with ginger, cloves, and saffron.
