Have you ever had the misfortune of sitting in the midst a heated conversation with completely opposing view points from both sides? It's enough for someone to throw in the towel and give up any hope on an agreement. All politics aside, designers Farah Malik, a Pakistani Muslim, and Dana Arbib, a Libyan Jew went against the odds with their line A Peace Treaty. Arbib and Malik met while living in Rome where they discovered they share a love for fashion and handcrafted goods. They started A Peace Treaty, a line of scarves, stoles and neckerchiefs that also creates employment for skilled artisans working in places of socio-political strife. In fact, the company travels to a different location every season so different local artisans can make their accessories.

The Aden handkerchief scarf is beautiful! The colors and texture is ethereal and pretty, like a wisp of tasseled smoke. Its an elegant accessory with a hip twist; yet still low key enough that it can be worn on the beach on a chilly evening. Dressed up or down, on a dark or bright palette, the Aden scarf is a great summer accessory because of its versatility.

My favorite style from the Spring 2009 collection is the APHRA Dip-dyed Handkerchief Scarf because the neutrality of the colors lends itself to versatility while the softness of the color palette breathes femininity with an edgy fringe flare.

Wow a jew and a muslim working together, that is a peace treaty! Now if only the rest of the word would follow. I really loved them all but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the ARNON long denim stole. You could wear that color with almost anything. The handkerchief scarfs are versitile though, they could be used as shoulder wraps and sarongs also. I also loved the QILT silk stole, beautiful colors! The website is really cool and Im glad to be a member of stylhive to find out about things like this ( The Peace Treaty.com)

I really love the NIRIT scarf. The combination of the khaki, teal, and neon pink is really inspired. They flow together so flawlessly. It definitely makes a statement. I love the whole background behind " A Peace Treaty " too. I love it even more because of how ironic it will be if I win..my mom and I would surely be fighing over the scarf. Not so peaceful..lol.

Definitely the DUME! It's amazingly simple & elegant but if you wear something clean cut, you can make it stand out. The color is perfect to go against something dark or to make a casual outfit dressy. I think it's very versitle and who wouldn't want to wear a scarf like this daily!

These women are amazing! They are also very beautiful, just like the art they are creating together. My personal favorite is the SORO. It stood out to me immediately. It is versatile (you could share it with your spouse, and it works with many different looks), and it's the perfect length. I would wear this piece all the time :) Thank you for this giveaway!

If I had to pick between all of the scarfs, my favorite would have to be the NIRIT Dip-dyed Handkerchief Scarf. It has a very laid back mellow scheme to it, but also has an upbeat scheme as well. Im really loving how they made a bright type of scarf into a mellow but vibrant scarf. It really says "HERE I AM!" This is definatly a piece I could wear all the time.
