Keffiya Strap

Located in the heart of Ramallah, Sharqi Palestine is a woman owned boutique that celebrates Palestinian heritage through Tatreez, the traditional hand embroidery that tells stories of identity and culture. Each stitch carries generations of history, with patterns once used to mark a woman’s village and story. In a place where Palestinians continually adapt to daily challenges, their work embodies that same resilience. She reimagines vintage Tatreez fabrics from traditional dresses into modern fashion, creating jean jackets, aprons, coin purses, vests, and dresses that preserve Palestinian identity while embracing contemporary design.

The Keffiyeh — or “Kufiya,” as it’s called in Palestine — remains a powerful symbol of resistance, resilience, and freedom. Traditionally, a Keffiyeh is meticulously handcrafted using a time-honored cross-stitch weaving technique passed down through generations. Made with two layers — the base and the intricate “flower” (وردة) pattern. Today, the Keffiyeh continues to evolve, available in a range of colors and patterns inspired by Palestinian heritage, historic landmarks, and the timeless designs that have come to represent a nation’s enduring spirit.
