This eco-friendly cotton tote bag carries two Arabic inscriptions: “Jerusalem, Capital of Palestine” and “and the story continues.”
The design is based on an iconic 2017 photo from Al-Khalil (Hebron), showing Fawzi Al-Junaid, a 16-year-old Palestinian boy, blindfolded and handcuffed, surrounded by more than twenty Israeli soldiers.
This powerful image embodies Palestinian resistance and the harsh reality of life under occupation, standing as a poignant call for justice and dignity.
Printed by Aladin, a Palestinian merchant from the Old City of Jerusalem (Al Quds), this tote bag is more than just an accessory. It represents an act of solidarity, a support to local trade, and a statement of identity.
Crafted in durable, eco-responsible cotton, it combines purpose, style, and authenticity.

Aladin is a Palestinian merchant and artisan in Jerusalem’s Old City, where he runs a shop specializing in traditional Palestinian dresses, as well as custom prints on t-shirts, sweatshirts, baby bodysuits, and tote bags, which he personally designs and prints with great care. His store is not just any shop—it is a true family legacy, passed down from his grandfather to his father, and now to Aladin himself.
Aladin is also a devoted father of three daughters. Like many Palestinian merchants in Jerusalem, his shop relies entirely on tourism to support his family and the families of his relatives. Already severely affected by the border closures during the Covid-19 pandemic, Aladin’s situation worsened dramatically with the outbreak of war in October 2023, which forced his shop to close completely. Since October 7, he has had no income, even though three households depend directly on his business.
The situation is even more critical because Aladin, like many Palestinian merchants, faces heavy police repression: he is forbidden from openly displaying products with Palestinian symbols in his shop, under threat of confiscation or punishment. As a result, he must hide these items, and we are currently the only ones able to sell them online on his behalf; without this support, he would not be able to offer these creations, which are essential for preserving Palestinian identity.
By supporting Aladin, you help sustain several families, preserve a unique craft, and stand against efforts to erase Palestinian culture.
