Tatreez, the traditional art of Palestinian embroidery, is more than decoration — it is a language of symbols, colors, and patterns that has carried the stories of Palestinian women for centuries. Each stitch reflects identity, belonging, and resilience. Traditionally adorning dresses (thobes), Tatreez has evolved into modern fashion and accessories while retaining its cultural significance.

Artisans embroider by hand, using vibrant threads to create motifs that vary by region — from Bethlehem’s star patterns to Ramallah’s geometric shapes. Today, cooperatives and women’s groups keep the tradition alive, welcoming visitors to learn about its meanings and to support local livelihoods.
