SELVEDGE CHRISTMAS FAIR INTRODUCES ISHKAR

This year, the Selvedge Christmas Fair is back in-person on Saturday 2 December 2023.

Over the next week we will introduce you to seven exhibitors who will be joining us. T he Selvedge Fair is the perfect opportunity to seek out unique handmade gifts and meet the talented people who create them. 

ISHKAR uses hand-crafted objects to show a different side to countries impacted by conflict.

Real and imagined barriers have isolated countries like Afghanistan, Yemen, Mali and Iraq from international trade and tourism. The result is that pathways to some of the world's most extraordinary places, people and cultures have narrowed, or in some cases, disappeared altogether.

We have come together with partners from across the world to restore these pathways once again through a unique blend of travel, craftsmanship and story-telling. By doing so we hope to change one-sided narratives, while creating economic opportunities where they are desperately needed.
