Palestinian Embroidery Book + Doll Bundle PLUS Join Us in NorCal

Some books become well-loved references. Others become family treasures.

Palestinian Embroidery: Traditional Fallahi Cross Stitch by Widad Kamel Kawar and Tania Tamari Nasir is one of the most important books ever published on Palestinian tatreez.

First released in 1992, it documents the rich embroidery traditions of villages across Palestine, showcasing regional motifs, colours, and patterns that have been passed down through generations.

Beautifully photographed and carefully researched, it's a book you'll return to time and again—whether you're a stitcher, a collector, or simply someone who wants to better understand the stories woven into every Palestinian thobe.

More Than Embroidery

Every Palestinian thobe tells a story.

The colors, motifs, fabrics, and stitching styles speak of villages, landscapes, family traditions, and identity. They are records of belonging, passed from mother to daughter through careful hands and patient hours.

Palestinian Embroidery honors this living tradition with thoughtful research and clear explanations that make it accessible whether you're new to Palestinian embroidery or have been stitching for years. It reminds us that tatreez is not simply decoration—it's history, memory, and resilience sewn into cloth.

A Special Bundle for Collectors and Families

To celebrate this extraordinary book, we're offering a special bundle that's perfect for families, collectors, and anyone who treasures Palestinian heritage.

Purchase the Palestinian Embroidery book together with our Handmade Palestinian Girl Doll for a special bundle price of just $200.

Our beloved handmade doll is dressed in a beautifully embroidered Palestinian thobe, lovingly crafted by Palestinian women artisans.

Paired with Palestinian Embroidery, the doll becomes even more meaningful—a tangible connection between the pages of the book and the living tradition it celebrates. This combination makes an incredible gift for a young child today and a treasured keepsake for their future self. It is a way to grow up surrounded by stories, craftsmanship, and pride in Palestinian culture.

And because every doll deserves a wardrobe, why not add a spare handmade tatreez dress? Extra outfits invite imaginative play while introducing children to the beautiful diversity of Palestinian regional dress traditions.

Whether you're gifting a child, welcoming a new baby, celebrating a birthday, or adding to your own collection, this bundle is one that will be cherished for years to come.

Every stitch carries a memory.

Every handcrafted piece helps keep a tradition alive.
