In honor of World Refugee Day 2022, Nest and Etsy announced the launch of the Afghan Refugee Collective which includes shops owned by Afghan women who have recently resettled as refugees in communities across the United States. With guidance from Zolaykha Sherzad, an Afghan design consultant, these women created a stunning collection of home goods and textiles using traditional Afghan needlework techniques, which provide a tangible connection to their culture while they rebuild their lives in a new country.
