ABOUT SHARQI PALESTINE SHOP
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.

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.
WHAT IS TATREEZ?
Traditional Palestinian Tatreez is a centuries-old form of hand embroidery that has been passed down through generations of Palestinian women. Each stitch tells a story — of family, village, identity, and resilience. Traditionally embroidered on dresses called thobes, Tatreez patterns vary by region, with each area having its own distinctive motifs, colors, and meanings.
The embroidery is done using cross-stitch techniques with vibrant threads on linen or cotton fabrics. Designs often feature geometric shapes, flowers, birds, olive branches, and symbolic patterns that reflect daily life, nature, and cultural heritage.
Beyond its artistic beauty, Tatreez holds deep cultural and historical significance. During times of displacement and struggle, it has served as a quiet act of resistance and preservation — a way for Palestinians, especially women, to express identity, belonging, and pride through their craft. Today, Tatreez continues to evolve, finding new life in modern fashion while keeping alive the stories and spirit of Palestine.
