Beit Lahm's Moon and Star motifs are intricately embroidered across various Palestinian regions, each potentially infusing its unique touch. Unfortunately, these motifs often go unnoticed on a global scale, overshadowed by the snowflake design associated with holiday fashion and decoration.
It is imperative to recognize these motifs’ Palestinian roots and historical significance and refrain from disconnecting traditional Tatreez designs from their origins.
In Bethlehem (Beit Lahm), embroidery techniques predominantly involved couching or cross-stitching. Geometric patterns were favored in Tatreez cross-stitch designs, while the couching technique embraced more curvilinear motifs. - Tatreez Traditions
The leather works are made by Muhammad from Al-Khalil, working alongside with ladies who work from home to handsew the tatreez.
The mini totes come with a matching tatreez strap
