Saru Falastin Tatreez Hoodie - Handmade

This garment is hand-embroidered in traditional Palestinian tatreez by women artisans in Al Baqaa’ Refugee Camp in Jordan.

We partner with Boqaa, an embroidery collective working to preserve Palestinian craft while creating dignified, fairly compensated work for displaced women. Each piece is produced slowly and in small quantities, honoring both the lineage of the embroidery and the hands that carry it forward.

Tatreez is not decoration — it is generational knowledge passed from mother to daughter, sustained even in exile.

The Saru Falastin motif draws from the cypress tree — a symbol of steadfastness deeply rooted in Palestinian land and memory. Its geometric form carries the quiet strength of continuity, stitched deliberately over the heart.

Produced in small quantities, every piece reflects time, skill, and lineage. This is not decorative embroidery. It is inherited knowledge, carried through exile and sustained through the hands that refuse erasure.

Crafted on a heavyweight olive-toned fleece, the silhouette is relaxed and understated — allowing the embroidery to speak softly, yet firmly.

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.
