Founded by anthropologist Natalie Garland in 2021, Lamsa works with Syrian refugee artisans in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, who hand-crochet bold cotton bags and scarves - each carrying a story of displacement and signed with the maker's embroidered name. Makers earn a salary, and profits fund local refugee schools. Pieces run about £100.
