This item is directly sourced from Palestinian women artisans in Dheisheh Refugee Camp - Bethlehem, Palestine, ensuring your purchase supports local craftsmanship and keeps traditional embroidery alive for future generations.

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

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

• Do Not Soak: To prevent color bleeding (especially with deep reds or greens), avoid leaving the scarf submerged in water for more than a few minutes.

• Handle with Care: Do not wring, scrub, or twist the fabric. Instead, gently press the water out by laying the scarf flat between two clean towels and rolling them up.

• Air Dry: Lay the scarf flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight, which can fade the embroidery threads over time.

• Ironing: If needed, iron on the reverse side (the back of the embroidery) 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 your scarf in a cool, dry place. We recommend folding it neatly rather than hanging it to maintain its shape.
