The Cultural Development Fund unveiled a curated selection of Saudi handicrafts at Selfridges in London, offering international audiences a window into the Kingdom's rich artisanal heritage, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Wednesday.
The exhibit, inspired by Saudi Arabia's diverse geography and urban character, aims to highlight the creative and economic value of national crafts.
Part of the fund's broader efforts under the Year of Crafts 2025, the display will run throughout June in a dedicated section of the iconic department store.
The space is designed to reflect Saudi cultural identity, incorporating lavender and clay motifs as symbols of the Kingdom's natural and architectural heritage.

The collection includes palm-weaving, leather goods, and handcrafted jewelry, all created by male and female artisans from across the Kingdom. Each piece reflects the cultural and regional diversity of Saudi craftsmanship, emphasizing both traditional techniques and contemporary design.
