EL RAIS

EL RAIS

In North Africa and the Middle East, el raʾīs — “chief” in Arabic — is an honorific used to describe teachers, scholars and leaders — one who commands respect. Both elevated and humble, the ra’is offers inspiration, channeling the word of the divine. Named in tribute, El Rais is a textile of remarkable craft, handwoven and patched together before the edges are decorated with embroidery. It carries an aura that is stately and present, offering an impression of quiet grandeur.
