Today I’m sharing Tanin’s story. Tanin runs Paris Perse, an online marketplace of Iranian crafts and home goods. In May, she invited me into her home to chat about running a small business, her roots, and how they intersect.
Here’s an excerpt:
Tanin’s home in Paris XVII is a colorful showcase of Iranian artisanry. The Evil Eye and the Hand of Fatima adorn hand-crafted home goods that she has brought back from Iran, and over the past few years has been sharing with a community of curious Parisians via her business, Paris Perse.
I love what you are doing with these pieces. I hope they are starting to reach others in the diaspora and being shared around that audience. I think the collection of profiles you're building is important and I believe they can provide healing and inspiration to many if they reach the right ears and eyes!
