NEW Palestinian Traditional Tatreez - Ramallah Motifs in Red - Embroidery Interchangeable Strap From Women in Palestine
Palestinian tatreez originally was identified by region and for this brand new interchangeable bag or camera strap, we chose to honor the traditional Palestinian embroidery of Ramallah with a quintessentially Ramallah stitch in the typical red and black colors on beige. This multi-purpose, interchangeable strap is designed by Manjel Ma'qoud and handmade by women in Palestine. The leather work is by our partner artisan SG Leathers in Hebron. *purse not included.

THE ETHOS
In the face of systemic economic closure, the act of making is an act of resistance. Our Traditional Craft track is anchored in the preservation of the Palestinian identity through the hands of the people. This is not mass-produced "folk art"—it is the survival of the master-craftsman.
THE PILLARS
1. **The Women’s Cooperative**: Featuring the work of *Manjel Ma'qoud*, a female-led embroidery guild formed in response to the economic suffocation of 2024. Their Tatreez is a living language of village history.
2. **Hebron Fire & Earth**: Hand-blown Phoenician glass and hand-painted ceramics from the last family workshops in Hebron, utilizing techniques refined over five centuries.
3. **Bethlehem Olive Wood**: Carved from the prunings of ancient trees, ensuring the tree's health while providing livelihoods to the Holy Land Handicraft Cooperative.
THE COMMITMENT
Every piece in this collection is a direct-from-source empowerment. We donate profits from every purchase to local not-for-profits like *Mashjar Juthour* to plant native trees and protect the Palestinian environment.
