Born in 2008, as a personal pact between Farah Malik, a Pakistani Muslim, and Dana Arbib, a Libyan Jew, A Peace Treaty creates employment for skilled artisans working in places of socio-political strife, effectively supporting their technique and craft while elevating their products to the level of high design for an exclusive and international fashion audience.

For S/S 2012 A Peace Treaty presents the Natsu collection.
Natsu pays homage to Japanese art, vintage kimono prints and the bold, bright colors and geometric designs of the Art Deco era.

Drawing inspiration from woodblock patterns, printmaking, weaving, silk-painting and artistic traditions originating in Japan, A Peace Treaty’s designs are also informed by the vivid color palettes and minimalist compositions in artist Kenzo Okada’s series of abstract paintings.

All the products are made by artisans using signature A Peace Treaty methods of production: hand dip-dying, hand-blockprinting, hand-carved silkscreen printing and hand-weaving.
