Tatreez Pouch-Purse - Black Velvet

• Authentic Hand-Embroidery: 100% genuine Tatreez, featuring high-density stitching on one side.

• Lightweight & Durable: Crafted from high-quality black textile, this pouch-purse is durable enough for daily use inside a larger tote, yet elegant enough to be carried alone as a minimalist evening clutch.

• Dual-Zipper Organisation:

  • Main Compartment: A full-width top zipper secures the main body of the purse, keeping your larger items safe.

  • Internal Security Pocket: Features an integrated zipper pocket inside the lining to keep coins, jewellery, or small keys separate and secure.

• Spacious Interior Layout: perfectly sized sleeves to hold banknotes flat, smartphone and other documents.

• Vibrant Colour Palette: Traditional multi-coloured threads create a high-contrast look against the black fabric.

This bag is directly sourced from Palestinian women artisans in Birzeit, Ramallah, Palestine, ensuring your purchase supports local craftsmanship and keeps traditional embroidery alive for future generations.

This bag is a handcrafted piece. To ensure the Tatreez embroidery and textile remain vibrant for years to come, please follow these care instructions:

• Spot Cleaning (Recommended): For small marks on the fabric, use a soft, damp cloth with a tiny drop of mild detergent. Gently dab the area without rubbing the embroidered threads.

• Gentle Hand Wash: If the bag requires a full clean, hand wash it in cold water only. Use a gentle detergent and avoid soaking the bag for more than 10 minutes.

• Handle with Care: Be mindful of the hand-stitched threads. Avoid wearing the bag against sharp jewellery, zippers, or rough surfaces that could snag the embroidery.

• Drying: Never tumble dry. Reshape the bag while damp and lay it flat to air dry in the shade. Keep it out of direct sunlight while drying to prevent the textile from fading.

• Do Not Iron

• Colour Preservation: When not in use, store the bag in a dust bag or a cool, dry place. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the colours to fade over time.

• Closures: If the zipper becomes stiff, you can run a tiny bit of beeswax or a graphite pencil along the teeth to keep it sliding smoothly.

• Storage: Avoid Overstuffing it with too many items.

Artisan Tip: If you notice a tiny loose thread, do not pull it! Carefully snip it with small embroidery scissors or use a needle to tuck it back into the design.
