When Dana Arbib, a Libyan Jew, met Farrah Malik, a Pakistani Muslim, and decided to create and promote artisan goods, A Peace Treaty was formed. Merging the stylish and the socially-conscious with a heightened awareness of their business model, Arbib and Malik give respect to the people and the cultures behind their designs. Take, for example, the keffiyeh, clichéd by urban hipsters and militants alike—A Peace Treaty has reclaimed the scarf. Its hand-woven tradition appeals to high-fashion connoisseurs and ethical consumer worldwide.
