Story
Louise Follain
We collaborated with photographer, magazine editor & model Louise Follain on several projects over the years and in 2019 Louise visited Bamiyan in Afghanistan on one of our trips (see more here). Inspired by the rich culture of craftsmanship, we disused the potential for new objects and the result is the collection that we've been developing with Louise to shine a brighter light on Afghanistan than is often seen in the news.
"To combine ISHKAR’s mission for Afghan craftmanship and my inspirations, had a special meaning to me, especially since the trip I was lucky enough to be a part of in 2020." - Louise Follain
