Coming from an Arab culture and originally from Palestine, I'm proud to talk about one of our important symbols in Palestinian that’s Embroidery which we call it “Tatreez”.
Embroidery which known to be practiced by village women, It's the principal decoration of rural women clothing. It was part of a village woman's daily routine and a means of showing off her personal skills and social identity.
If that was what Embroidery means 50 years ago, what about now?
Will you agree with me if I said it’s a tradition that generations have inherited to each other to express heritage, ancestry and affiliations?
A lot of people enjoy buying these Embroidery pieces such as pillows, wall pieces & rugs to decorate their homes with. I’ve always seen that in my grandmother who never made anyone touch these pieces at her place and if we do so, she gets panicked!.I knew these pieces are precious to her.
If Embroidery home pieces are our grandparents & family interests to decorate home with? Then what about modern life? Modern girls?
Do you consider Embroidery as a fashion thing? Like Embroidery purse, bands, accessories and key chains? or anything that you can relate to fashion!?
Do you?
In my opinion I find these Embroidery pieces have always been and will remain a vibrant handicraft.I’ve seen that in one of my colleagues who impressed everyone around with her new Embroidery "Tatreez" business which she calls it "Kan3aneya".
If you were wondering what "Kan3aneya" is...its basically her family name.
It’s really nice to see how Embroidery passed on with new variations of colors, textures and yet with the same traditional patterns and expressions.
What I really liked about “Kan3aneya” work is the fact she’s creating embroidery accessories to give all modern girls a chance to enjoy the beauty of embroidery with their daily outfits.
Which I believe it’s gorgeous!
I already ordered my pieces and keen to have them soon!! so probably i should share the photos as I receive them! ☺
