At Hands, every collection begins with a story. Postcards is one that journeys across borders, cultures, and moments in time, capturing not just the look of a place but the feeling it leaves behind. Born from travel and reflection, it carries the colours, the energy, after you've left, the rhythms that stay in your mind, and the small details that somehow begin to feel like home.

The collection comes to life through the vision of sisters Asmaa and Mentalla Said, founders of DOODLE AND THE GANG. For them, design is a way of keeping memories alive. It is how they translate emotions into form and texture, creating pieces that feel both deeply personal and widely relatable. Every rug in Postcards is shaped by their experiences across cities and cultures, distilled into abstract compositions that invite you to find your own story within them. Their work is thoughtful and poetic, bridging nostalgia with modern craft.

The journey begins in Cairo with Twirl, inspired by the spinning motion of the Tannoura dancer, his layered garments captured in patterns that seem to move even when still. Aroosa follows as a playful tribute to the beloved Aroosa Tea packaging, a symbol of warmth, conversation, and togetherness in Egyptian homes.

From Dubai, A-Bae-A celebrates the grace and quiet strength of Emirati women’s traditional dress, while Khazzanz reimagines the city’s old Khazzan Park water tower through the curious eyes of a child, turning a simple structure into a keeper of memory.

In Beirut, Bonjuseh recalls the joy of childhood summers through the pyramid-shaped Bonjus juice carton, while Kaak takes inspiration from the rhythm of sesame bread vendors moving through the city, their gestures reflected in flowing circular forms and architectural repetition.

From Riyadh, Starry Night captures the warmth of desert hospitality under open skies, and Najd pays homage to the geometry and elegance of Najdi architecture, where structure meets artistry.

The collection finds its final stop in Varanasi with Butter/Butter, a cheerful reflection on the simplicity of Indian mornings. It celebrates the comfort of everyday rituals and the nostalgia of familiar flavours that have stayed unchanged through generations. Marigold draws from the flower’s deep-rooted place in Indian life — a symbol of celebration, devotion, and everyday beauty that colours both sacred rituals and daily moments with warmth and optimism.

Together, these rugs are more than décor. They are stories you can touch; fragments of time and emotion woven into lasting form. Postcards is a tribute to the places that shape us and to the memories that continue to travel, finding new life through the language of design.
