Contemporary Palestinian Embroidered Jacket

The jacket is the work of the Qalandia Camp’s Women Handicraft Cooperative, a non-profit, non-governmental organization established in 1958 by 20 women from the Qalandia Refugee Camp, located in the outskirts of Jerusalem. The jacket design is based on traditional Palestinian embroidery, but is infused with new life, thanks to the bright color combination and the integration of modern unusual shapes alongside more traditional ones.
