Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Do you have a question?
Here you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our products, shipping, customization, and how Palestinement works.
Our products are made or sourced from Palestinian artisans and merchants, primarily in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Some items are handmade in Palestine, while others are produced elsewhere but sold by local Palestinian merchants.
Local production in Palestine remains limited due to economic and political constraints. That is why supporting merchants is just as essential as supporting artisans.
Every purchase thus helps circulate money within the local Palestinian economy and supports the families of artisans and merchants.
The country of origin for each product is listed on its product page to ensure complete transparency.
Many of our products are handcrafted: traditional embroidery (tatreez), silver jewelry, natural products, and local spices.
Some items are produced in small batches by local workshops.
Every purchase directly supports Palestinian artisans and merchants, primarily in Jerusalem and the West Bank. We work with local workshops, artisans, and shops from whom we source our products.
This means that the money is paid directly to Palestinian artisans or merchants who produce or sell these items, allowing them to make a living from their work and keep their businesses running.
Many of these businesses face significant challenges: declining tourism, the impact of COVID, instability caused by the war, and economic constraints resulting from the occupation, all of which make commercial activity particularly vulnerable.
In this context, every order helps to keep money circulating within the local Palestinian economy and support the families that depend on it, while helping to preserve the skills and businesses that are part of the region’s cultural and economic fabric.
Yes. We work directly with Palestinian artisans and merchants, mainly in Jerusalem and the West Bank, from whom we purchase our products.
Sellers are paid directly by us, without intermediaries, so that the money actually goes to the people who produce or sell these items.
Orders are also shipped from Palestine via the Palestinian Postal Service, which is visible on the packages through Palestinian postage stamps and postmarks. The payments we make to suppliers also go through Palestinian banks, in order to circulate money within the local economy.
Many of these businesses are facing significant challenges: a decline in tourism, the impact of COVID, instability caused by the war, and economic constraints resulting from the occupation. Supporting these workshops and shops helps maintain local economic activity and preserve traditional skills and businesses.
Our goal is simple: to keep money circulating within the local Palestinian economy and support the families that depend on it.
