QŪT

QŪT (قوت) is the Arabic word for nourishment, livelihood, living, food. QŪT marks the 7th capsule collection for Saqhoute.

The main source of inspiration is food, our main source of nourishment, in Ancient Egyptian history, and we selected specifically the Greco-Roman vegetable zodiac that was created in the 6th century of seasonal harvest where each month represents a crop. 

The food items that are inspiring our palette and our hand-embroidery designs are: Wild Barley, Garlic, Apricots & Nuts, Peaches, Grapes, and Figs representing the six spring/summer months.
