Handmade Palestinian Tatreez Pouch – Nablus

Originally from Nablus, Sarah is 34 years old and holds a degree in Public Administration from Birzeit University. A lifelong lover of art and crafts, she turned to handmade creation after, like many Palestinians, struggling to find employment in her field of study.

Now based in Ramallah, Sarah decided to breathe new life into a nearly forgotten heritage: traditional Palestinian embroidery, or tatreez. She chose to incorporate these ancestral motifs into everyday items—functional, wearable, and modern—so this living memory can continue to be passed on.

She began by making hand-embroidered jewelry, then gradually expanded her collection to include tote bags, leather tatreez handbags and clutches, bandanas, keychains, and more. Inspired, meticulous, and creative, Sarah regularly designs new pieces that blend deep cultural roots with a contemporary spirit.
