Hand-embroidered by Hajar.

Sourced directly from individual women artisans in Dheisheh Refugee Camp (Bethlehem, Palestine), your purchase directly supports local craftsmanship and helps keep traditional embroidery alive for future generations.

To preserve the beauty and intricate hand-embroidery of your piece, we recommend the following care:

• Hand Wash Only: Gently hand wash in cold or lukewarm water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.

• Do Not Soak: Avoid leaving the shawl submerged in water for more than a few minutes to prevent thread bleed.

• Handle with Care: Do not wring, scrub, or twist the fabric. Gently press excess water out by laying the shawl flat between two clean towels and pressing down.

• Air Dry: Lay flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight to protect the thread colours over time.

• Ironing: Iron on the reverse side using a low-to-medium heat setting. Placing a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the scarf is recommended to protect the stitches.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. We recommend folding neatly rather than hanging to maintain its shape.
