New Crafts, Restocks & Resilience

We’re thrilled to share some beautiful new additions to our collection—even if it’s a small miracle we managed to get them online at all.

Life under military Occupation in Palestine means movement is never guaranteed. In recent weeks, Israeli forces have imposed extreme closures, blocking access between cities and villages, and setting up nearly 900 checkpoints. These restrictions don’t just impact daily life—they make it nearly impossible for us to receive new crafts, visit our artisan partners, or ship items to our fulfillment center.

Still, we’re here. And so are our makers.

What’s New

Despite these enormous challenges, we’ve added a few stunning new pieces for you to discover:

• Map of Palestine Brass Earrings with Olive Leaves – A powerful symbol of identity and rootedness.
  
  

• Tatreez Leather Tote – Featuring hand-stitched embroidery rooted in tradition, made modern.
  

• Desert Sunrise Pouch in Tatreez – A radiant piece inspired by the colors of Palestine’s landscapes.
  
  

• Wildflowers Tatreez Cushion Covers – These floral designs honor Palestinian biodiversity and the artistry of hand embroidery.
  
  

Plus, micro mosaic jewelry is restocked, and keffiyehs will be back in early July—mark your calendars!

A Note on EU Orders & Shipping

We had hoped to announce a full restock of our EU shop, but the truth is, shipments are stuck due to ongoing closures. With roads closed and movement tightly restricted, getting crafts out of Palestine is no small feat. Please stay tuned—we’re working on it and will update you as soon as we're able to ship.

Also, a quick heads-up: Our fulfillment manager is on a well-deserved break. Any orders placed through our global site, handmadepalestine.com, will ship starting July 1st.

Thank you for your patience and your solidarity. When you choose to support Handmade Palestine, you’re not just buying a handmade item—you’re uplifting stories, heritage, and resilience.
