Deir ez-Zor Duster

This duster is named after Deir ez-Zor, a city on the Euphrates River that experienced both siege and occupation during the war. For several years, civilians were caught between opposing forces. Bridges that once linked neighborhoods were destroyed, cutting off movement and communication. Food and medicine entered through difficult routes, often at personal risk. Families sheltered together in basements, rotating rest and watch, adjusting daily routines around bombardment and scarcity. When the siege ended, the city bore visible damage. Streets were blocked by collapsed buildings, and the riverfront markets that once served as gathering places were quiet. Residents began clearing rubble by hand, reopening alleyways, and returning shops to working order. Progress came in small steps: repairing doors, restoring small storefronts, rebuilding homes one room at a time. This duster takes its name from that kind of recovery. Change that happens slowly, through repeated everyday effort. Fabric
