The Shimmery Saru clutch bag - Palestinian embroidery / Tatreez / تطريز - Designed by Grace Abdo - Embroidered by Women in Hebron

Aprrox. 28 x 16 cm | shades of pink and bordeaux
Designed exclusively for El Bustan, this stunning and unique tatreez clutch is the perfect accessory for your special spring and summer occasions. It also makes a very thoughtful present for a bride, ideal for keeping her valuables safe on her wedding day.

The clutch is beautifully embroidered with the Cypress tree motif. The Cypress tree, or Saru (سرو) in Arabic, is a popular symbol in Palestinian embroidery. Historically, Cypress trees served as markers for grove boundaries and windbreaks.

This bag features mainly pastel colours embroidered on a light, creamy cotton fabric with a subtle shimmer from a gold metallic thread. The back is crafted from luxurious pink raw silk, and the lining offers a delightful surprise of polka dots.

Inspired by her Palestinian heritage, Grace designed this charming bag in collaboration with the Women in Hebron cooperative.

About Women in Hebron:
Women in Hebron is a women's cooperative established to empower women from the Hebron district, primarily from the village of Idna. The cooperative provides these women with the resources to generate income for themselves and their families through the production and sale of Palestinian handicraft items.
Their work is founded on the belief that developing Palestinian handicrafts is more than just an income-generating project. It is an act of community strengthening, a way of honoring the role of women in their society, and a means to demonstrate sumud – steadfastness – in the face of the occupation of Palestine and its impact on the people.
