Sa’ad, a Jerusalem merchant, came up with the original idea of gathering traditional Palestinian motifs from every city and village to create a historical map of Palestine. To bring this vision to life, he partnered with Sheikh Ibrahim, from the mountains of Al-Khalil, whose family is renowned for generations of tailoring expertise.
Together, they collected antique Palestinian dresses over 100 years old from across historic Palestine. These hand-embroidered fragments of memory have been given a new life in creations that connect past and present: bed covers, wall hangings, mirrors, bags… and these pouches.
Each pouch measures about 14 × 10 cm. It is practical, elegant, and above all rooted in heritage. Since they are handmade from antique embroidery, no two are alike and slight differences from the photo may appear. By choosing it, you carry a piece of Palestine and support its living craftsmanship.

Sa’ad is one of eight siblings who all grew up as orphans. Raised by his older brothers, they overcame life’s hardships together, starting from nothing and gradually managing to buy two shops in Jerusalem’s Old City. Today, Sa’ad works in one of these family-owned stores, carrying on the dream and determination of his brothers.
Born, raised, and still living in the Old City of Jerusalem, Sa’ad has an endless love for its historic and spiritual streets. In his youth, during the time of the First Intifada, like many Palestinians, he was deeply involved in political activism for his people’s freedom. This commitment led to multiple imprisonments and prevented him from completing his education.
Despite the challenges, Sa’ad embodies the resilience and dignity of Jerusalem’s residents, welcoming everyone who steps into his shop and sharing with them the true soul of his beloved city.
