Mawj Al Nahr Handstitched Tote Bag

Mawj Al Nahr is a handstitched tote bag featuring Palestinian tatreez embroidery in red, burgundy, ivory, and blue cotton thread.

The name means “the river wave,” drawn from the blue movement running through the red embroidery. The front centers on a diamond motif framed by repeated Palestinian tatreez borders, stitched entirely by hand.

This tote was made by a Palestinian family in downtown Amman, Jordan, as part of the May 2026 Edition of handstitched releases. Only 1 piece was made from this design. Once sold out, it will not return.

The embroidered panel is sewn into a functional textile tote bag with fabric shoulder handles. It carries Palestinian handwork into an everyday object, made slowly, released intentionally, and archived once

A note on handmade goods

Each piece carries the mark of the hands that made it. Slight variations in pattern, color, or texture are not defects — they are part of what makes the piece real. We do not accept returns for minor natural variation. Replacements are issued for damaged or incorrect items with photo proof.
