Worked in linen, this scarf brings together lightness of fabric with the depth of hand embroidery, shaped through the long-standing tradition of tatreez.
Each stitch is placed by hand, forming patterns that carry meaning through repetition and detail. One end is finished with a bold diamond border, while the other holds a finer, more delicate edge, creating a balance between structure and softness. Small motifs are scattered across the surface, adding quiet layers of texture and movement.
The embroidery is carried out by women of the Idna Ladies’ Association, where craft is both preserved and practised as part of everyday life. Through this work, traditional techniques continue to be passed on, while creating steady, dignified livelihoods within the community.
Lightweight and easy to wear, the scarf moves naturally between everyday use and more considered styling, holding both presence and versatility.
Subtle variations in stitching and pattern are part of the handmade process, giving each piece its own character.
Each piece supports women artisans in the West Bank, helping to sustain traditional tatreez embroidery as a source of dignified, fairly paid work.
A portion of proceeds is shared with marginalised communities through our ongoing partnership with human rights organisation Restless Beings.
For every order placed, we also plant a tree, contributing to long-term environmental restoration.
Tatreez is a centuries-old form of Palestinian embroidery, traditionally hand-stitched by women as a way of preserving identity, memory, and place.
Each pattern is built through counted stitching, where motifs are formed with precision and repetition, often reflecting elements of village life, landscape, and personal story. The colours, placement, and symbols can carry meaning, quietly connecting the piece to its region and heritage.
Passed down through generations, tatreez continues today through the hands of artisans who maintain both its technique and its significance. What was once part of everyday dress remains a living practice, shaped by continuity, resilience, and cultural expression.
