Patina’s organised last week an exhibition of women handicrafts in Beirut under the auspices of the president of the Future Women, Ms. Leila Fleifel el Turk, who attended the event and highlighted its importance in encouraging women gifted in making handicrafts in producing and in improving their livelihoods through enabling them to market their productions. The exhibition was open to the public for two days and included 40 different booths showcasing the hand made products for women including accessories, food, clothing, chocolates and painting. Women who were able to sell their products expressed their gratitude to be able to partake in this event which allowed them to showcase their hand made goods as well as network with buyers. This was particularly important for them since the women exhibitors do not have their own shops.
