STORYLINE:
As a result of the economic crisis in Syria, the carpet repair business comes under the spotlight as people cannot afford new carpets.
Before the war erupted in Syria in 2011, the carpet repair business was largely about fixing ancient and expensive handmade carpets, which were considered a kind of heritage.
Omar Rawas, 44, inherited the technique from his ancestors.
