Banoy Afghan Handicraft

Vendor Biography

My name is Razieh Ahrari, a businesswoman in the field of handicrafts under the brand name “Afghan Lady Handicrafts”, currently living in Herat Province, Afghanistan.
I have an elementary level of education and live with my family.

I began my handicraft business in 2021 (1400) due to my deep interest in this art and because I am the sole breadwinner of my family. Through this work, I aimed to support and improve our living conditions.

With five years of experience, I produce a variety of traditional handmade products, including curtains, nalincha, traditional pillows, traditional bags and shoes, traditional paintings, and pieces inspired by historical and cultural heritage. I strive to help preserve Afghanistan’s rich handicraft traditions.

Currently, I am proud to be working with 10 employees.

My goal is to create more job opportunities for women and girls, helping them become financially empowered and motivated. I also hope to introduce my handicrafts internationally and transform them into a recognized global brand.
