This is Sara 🥰 She works at the Tally Assuit Womens Collective. We are so PROUD to announce she has passed her university exams with excellence 97 % !! She wanted to be a doctor which she needed 98% to get into uni. She got 97.5%.. and was devastated. So she trained as a dentist her first year but could not afford the fees and switched to a biology degree ( cheaper) for the 2nd and 3rd years.
We know she WILL get her doctors degree one day. 🙏🤩
If you support buying Real Tally assuit vs fake Assuit then you are supporting REAL women like Sara and many more and you are making a difference to people's lives.
Congratulations Sara! 💜💙💛

Posting here as public and feel free to share 🖤
Unfortunately I had some Tally Assuit taken from in an Aramex shipment sent to Austraila for the SYNTHESIS festival. Please keep a look out for these items for sale any where... Thank goodness I have photos of the product.

The green and gold is very unique 😥 and a lot of work has gone into all this stolen product.
I hope to find it somewhere....

A huge thank you the everyone at SYNTHESIS Festival in Brisbane, Australia. What an incredible platform to share the story of the women artisans of Egypt who make the Tally Assuit embroidery. We talked of preserving traditional artistry and supporting skilled artisans over mass produced product.
Cultural appropriation of the Tally Assuit craft was also discussed and how the craft has been reproduced for profit without the artisans knowledge or consent.
Its time to acknowledge their rights, as we do in other countries. The moari cultural designs in NZ, the Aboriginal cultural designs in Australia and so on. The artisans of Tally Assuit in Egypt have the same rights to their cultural heritage craft as every other culture has. This is their wish to be heard and considered.
Exciting steps are being taken by the government of Egypt, who has sent a delegation of Tally Assuit artisans to Geneva, to educate them on their rights to intellectual property and to safe guard their jobs in this craft.
To get to share the history and current situation of the handicraft on behalf of the women has been such an incredible opportunity. I hope this is the start of many projects like this and can't thank Bronnie Coffey and Xaeda Raqasa enough for sponsoring and all the
Love and time put into this event 💙💛

Egypt hosted the regional forum on intellectual property and female entrepreneurs. Tally embroidery was represented for Egypt and they shared the importance of their work in cultural heritage of Egypt and protecting their jobs. Intellectual property is at the forefront of their mission these days to educate people. I am so proud they are working towards recognition with the government's help. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I had so much fun with this VERY special group of 17 from New Zealand with my Tally group, that I forgot to take any photos 🤣🤣Here are a couple I borrowed. We had a lecture and Egyptian Tea ceremony, followed by a lesson in which everyone accomplished a stitch. Thank you Candice for supporting this art and bring your group !!!🥰🐫
