Sama Hand-Stitched Shawl - Turquoise Ivory

Sama means sky in Arabic.
This shawl carries that name through turquoise and deep blue thread laid over an ivory base, giving the piece an open, lifted feeling while keeping the embroidery grounded and precise.
The pattern moves through floral forms, borders, and repeated geometric lines. The lighter base lets the stitchwork breathe, while the blue thread gives the shawl its calm strength.
Its triangular shape drapes across the shoulders with long fringe along the edge, made for gatherings, formal wear, and moments where Palestinian craft should be seen.
Hand-stitched by Palestinian artisans in Jordan, Sama is an individual piece shaped by thread, labor, and cultural continuity.

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.
