Tatreez Pillow Cover - Diamond

Darzah works with Palestinian women artisans in Al-Khalil (Hebron), in the West Bank, who hand-embroider each piece using tatreez - the traditional Palestinian cross-stitch passed down through generations.

Every stitch is placed by hand, so small variations are part of the craft. Through fair-trade wages and steady work, Darzah helps these artisans earn a dependable income from a skill that sits at the heart of Palestinian culture.
