Name: Heike R.
Mother tongue: German
Occupation: Accountant
My object: kaftan
My story about it:

My husband brought this kaftan to me many years ago from a business trip:
One of his business partners from Syria gave him two kaftans – one for my husband’s mother, and the other one for me. Both were manufactured in Syria, and I still gladly wear mine for special occasions. Unfortunately, we did not have another chance to see the husband’s business partner and thank him personally because they are no longer doing business. Nevertheless, I often remember this man who is a complete stranger to me, and his family, especially now when the political and economic situation in Syria is very difficult. I hope they are well.
