Kurar is a type of embroidery using gold thread, Kurar House in Bahrain has set up as a venue to revive this dying technique, providing a space for the elderly women with the knowledge of Kurar to pass it on to a younger generation.

This complicated technique requires a minium of three women working togeather to produce a kurar ribbon.

These Bahraini-made oils are featuring very highly on my wish list. The brainchild of Reem Al-Khalifa Green Bar makes and bottles beauty products using only certified natural ingrediants with an emphasis on being sustainable and environmentally friendly.

I have made a little space on my dressing table for the Almond and Amber body oil and Taifi Rose body perfume.
