Handmade Palestine Holiday Collection 2025

As we approach the holiday season, our shelves hold the final artisan-made pieces available this year. Because our makers create in small batches, thoughtfully and by hand, many of these treasures will return only when artisans are able to craft them again — often months from now.

We invite you to focus on choosing pieces made with intention, heritage, and human hands.

Ethical, Slow, and Intentional Shopping

At Handmade Palestine, everything we offer is made through a slow and ethical process. Our artisans work with traditional techniques—tatreez embroidery, olive wood carving, handmade paper, silversmithing—while earning fair wages and sustaining their families.

By shopping from small-batch makers, you’re embracing ethical consumerism: choosing fewer, meaningful items that value people and planet over mass production. Each purchase directly supports Palestinian families, preserves cultural heritage, and invests in a future where craft, dignity, and fair trade still matter.

Your choices this season truly carry weight. Thank you for choosing to shop with humanity in mind.

Olive Wood Kitchen Utensils: A Limited Seasonal Offering

We’ve added the last small batch of our hand-carved olive wood kitchen utensils, made from sustainably sourced olive trees in Bethlehem. These pieces are crafted slowly, shaped by artisans with decades of experience, and polished naturally to bring out the grain of the wood.

They will return when the artisans are able to produce more—likely in spring 2026—but for now, what’s available reflects the authentic pace of handmade tradition.

Unique Jewelry That Preserves Palestinian Artistry

Our jewelry collection is filled with pieces that carry stories, heritage, and identity:

• Jamilla’s hand-embroidered earrings from Beit Doqo — tiny tatreez artworks you can wear.

• Nadya’s olive wood calligraphy earrings — carved from Palestinian olive trees, each pair a poetic expression of Arabic script.

• Silver Zaytouna Jewelry — naturally fallen olive leaf paired with sterling silver, handmade in Bethlehem.

Every piece is designed to be cherished and passed down, not simply consumed.
