طوق شعر مطرّز بالتطريز الفلسطيني – أحمر بنقوش تركواز وأصفر (قاعدة سوداء)

Palestinian embroidery, known as "tatreez," is a vibrant and intricate traditional art form that has been passed down through generations of Palestinian women. Using colorful threads, artisans create stunning geometric and floral patterns on dresses, scarves, and other textiles. Each region in Palestine has its own distinct designs and motifs, often reflecting local identity and heritage. For example, the red and black patterns of Hebron differ from the bright colors of Ramallah or the cross-stitch designs of Bethlehem. More than just decoration, tatreez symbolizes Palestinian culture, resilience, and pride, especially as it has become a powerful symbol of solidarity and resistance. Today, this ancient craft continues to thrive, blending tradition with contemporary fashion while preserving a rich cultural legacy.From the heart of Beit Fajjar, near Bethlehem, Taqaqta is reviving Palestinian heritage through the timeless art of embroidery.
