DISCOVERIES

Alabaster

Alabaster is a historic stone, both translucent and resilient, that has been sculpted into objects of beauty for thousands of years. As a crystal, Alabaster, when illuminated, has a soothing and translucent quality that promotes relaxation and well-being.

Misreya has access to rare historical quarries in Upper Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula that are not always open to the retail marketplace. These raw materials are diverse in coloration and geological patterns, giving our accessory and lighting collections a timeless quality.

Photography

The Photographic lens of Susan Mahmoud captures the 'instant moment' of life in Egypt. She is a new talent who is influenced by the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson who famously said “Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera.”

Her oeuvre captures the essence of ancient and contemporary Egypt. For collectors who seek the magical interpretations of Egypt, her work is compelling and singular.

Weavings

Misreya has developed a unique partnership with the Regional Nubian Magistrate that oversees the well-being of the Nubian tribal culture.

For 6,000 year, the Nubian people in Egypt have been known as keepers of the 'Palm Culture'. Their weaving techniques takes years of practice and is passed on by elderly community members.

Nowadays, Nubian females have formed cooperatives that produce everyday articles of use that retain these ancient weaving patterns and techniques.

Textiles

Our first signature launch-within the Egyptian Textile category is a fabric and Art form known as Khayameya. This is a base fabric with a decorative appliqué historically used for decorative tents across the Middle East.

Apart of the celebratory Tent, the Khayameya can be customized and used for Bedding, Throws, Pillows, Wall coverings and Upholstery fabric.
