Around the world, from ancient cultures to modern day, stars have played a role in explaining where we come from and where we go. They have been a source of navigation for sailors first crossing the sea and a way of tracking time. Our star ornaments are a lasting symbol of a wish for good luck, self-fulfillment, and happy new beginnings. We hope you'll select them as a symbol of hope and as a chance to wish for a bright future.

Mirror embroidery is a needlework technique that involves stitching small glass mirrors into a framework mesh. The style dates back to the 1700s and is used throughout South Asia from from Afghanistan through Western India.

Each of our hand-embroidered products is one of a kind—as individual as the woman who made it. They are lovingly crafted in our studio or in the home of a resettled refugee woman from Buffalo, NY. All Stitch Buffalo products are made using upcycled materials, donated by the community and provided to our artists at no charge.
