A Super stylish navy denim tote with a striking chest panel that replicates the intricate embroidery found on a woman's Palestinian village dress from Beit Lahia, Gaza, circa 1925. Handmade by Folk Glory, the Gaza Chest Panel Bag is inspired by the traditional Qiladed Ghazzeh (Gaza Necklace) design.
Folkglory is a design collective founded by architect, designer, and heritage researcher Salua Qidan. The collective explores the rich folk traditions of the Levant by creating handmade pieces for both your home and wardrobe.
This embroidered bag is stocked in association with our current exhibition, Thread Memory: Embroidery from Palestine. The exhibition explores the history of Palestinian dress and the ancient practice of tatreez, hand-embroidery which is characterised by remarkable beauty and regional diversity and tells stories of women’s identities, grief and changing lives. This ancient practice of Palestinian embroidery is recognised as unique for its craft and is on the United Nations list of Intangible Cultural Heritage for Humanity.
