Midnight Mosaic – Tatreez Tote Bag | Palestinian Embroidery

A darker base that allows the pattern to stand forward.

This tote carries traditional Palestinian tatreez in a more structured, everyday format. The embroidery is machine-stitched, preserving the geometry and repetition of classic motifs while ensuring durability for daily use. Each bag is then assembled by Palestinian artisans in Jordan, keeping the production rooted in community.

The design is built on a black base with layered red, blue, beige, and muted tones, forming a central star motif surrounded by detailed borders. The contrast gives the bag presence without excess, allowing the pattern to carry the visual weight.

Sized for practical use, it holds daily essentials while maintaining structure. The zipper closure secures contents, and the inner pocket allows easy access to smaller items.

A functional piece that carries pattern, identity, and use together.

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.
