A keychain with a charmingly loose and cute expression featuring a depiction of a Palestinian woman in an old-fashioned traditional costume through cross-stitch.

About traditional culture:
Palestinian embroidery is designated as World Intangible Cultural Heritage due to its profound history. This craft has been passed down from mother to daughter and across generations, with the oldest embroidery dating back to BC times. The use of color carries specific meanings, with red symbolizing celebration and youth, and navy blue signifying mourning and old age. Embroidery, each with its unique identity in various regions, converged into a common pattern known as "Palestinian embroidery" as people lost their home villages and became refugees after the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

The creators:
"Holy Land Handicrafts Cooperatives Society" Established to safeguard local traditional crafts and artisans from the global economy, it is the oldest member organization of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) in the Middle East. Working hand in hand with small workshops and an office serving as a window to the rest of the world, the society guarantees the livelihood of approximately 2,000 people. Bridging Chopsticks purchases its products by directly communicating with Amira in the office.

The situation in Palestine:
Palestine is a place with a rich history and warm people, and upon visiting, you'll likely want to return (Diary of my stay: https://note.com/kakehashi_pale/m/m70c26db08307). We believe that connecting through fair trade with people who persist in preserving their traditional work and activities even under occupation, and the culture crossing borders, will lead to grassroots peace.
