Introduction

In a world overwhelmed by mass production, the desire for connection, authenticity and purposeful purchasing has never been stronger. Our Made in Palestine collection stands at the intersection of story, identity, resilience and solidarity. It’s more than a collection — it is a celebration of Palestinian heritage, a lifeline to artisans, and a reminder that every intentional choice has impact.
Whether you’ve held a Hirbawi keffiyeh, prayed with an olive wood tasbeeh, or gifted Palestinian ceramics, you’ve interacted with culture, history and legacy in a deeply meaningful way.

The Story Behind the Collection

Every piece is handcrafted by Palestinian artisans whose families have preserved these traditions for generations. From Hebron to Bethlehem, from Gaza to Jerusalem, these makers carry the land’s story in their hands.

The Hirbawi keffiyeh — also known as the kufiya — is woven in the last remaining keffiyeh factory in Palestine. Olive wood tasbeehs are carved in Khalil using natural, ethically sourced wood. Palestinian ceramics are hand-painted using traditional patterns that reflect centuries-old artistry.

“We don’t just sell products. We honour a people, a place, and a purpose.”

Choosing from this collection is an act of solidarity — one that helps artisans protect their identity under incredibly challenging circumstances.

4. It Encourages Ethical Gifting

2025 has seen a rise in intentional, faith-driven gifting. Consumers want meaningful products with stories, not empty trends.

5. It Connects You to Palestinian Heritage

From olive trees to traditional patterns, each piece embodies the land, its people and its beauty.

6. It Sparks Conversations That Matter

These items serve as bridges — between cultures, between hearts, and within your own identity journey.
