Our Sama shade represents the fresh vibrant colours and subtle geometric patterns of Syrian tile designs in the 16th Century. A long way to go perhaps, but worth every step! 30% of the proceeds of this shade will go to Hands Up Foundation, transforming the lives of those caught up in the terrible conflict in Syria - this is our donation, not yours...i.e. we have not increased the price in any way...the donation is simply a happy bi-product of your purchasing this glorious shade.
