This story of scarves begin with two girls, Farah Malik and Dana Arbib, who made a pact with one another to help provide employment to struggling artisans living in areas of socio-political animosity. The result is a luxurious line of handmade scarves dubbed A Peace Treaty.

For their Spring '09 collection, the duo traveled to Central Asia and recruited local town artisans to create a unique collection of hand-loomed and dip-dyed scarves.
