Qiladet Ghazzeh Hand-Stitched Hoodie

The embroidery is cross-stitched by hand using DMC embroidery thread by Palestinian women in Al Baqaa’ Refugee Camp, Jordan, through Boqaa Collective.

The hoodie itself is a manufactured garment; the tatreez is applied by hand. This is a repeatable design, with small variations in the individual stitching.

Qiladet Ghazzeh means “Gaza’s Necklace.” Against deep navy, its hand-stitched Tatreez gives the name a tangible presence: thread, pattern, and the work of Palestinian hands.

To wear Gaza’s name is to keep a place close. For some, that connection is family and memory; for others, it is a deliberate expression of solidarity with Palestinians and their right to remain and return.

Palestinian women in Al Baqaa’ Refugee Camp, Jordan, stitch the embroidery by hand through Boqaa Collective. Their work connects a garment worn today with the continuing practice of Palestinian Tatreez in exile.

The navy cotton-blend hoodie has a unisex cut for everyday wear. Qiladet Ghazzeh carries its connection openly: Gaza in the name, Palestinian handwork in the cloth.
