For years, each of them was the only one. Souad had been in the leather bazaars of Marrakech since 1989, the sole woman among the men. Rokaya had forced her way into the same trade, alone. Neither knew the other existed until an exhibition put them in the same room. "Seeing her felt like a victory," Souad says. They sat for hours over each other's designs, and asked why they were doing this alone. Their cooperative began there, and today the women they trained work beside them. That workshop is where this piece was made.
