Area: Beit Dajan village- Jaffa
Made of maroon velvet fabric, this thobe is entirely embroidered in bright colors. Gold and silver reed threads are visible on the sides of the thobe, the frontal and back areas, the lower back hem and the sleeves.
Initially, it was Bethlehem that was known for the “Tahrira” stich also named “Al-Laf”, in floral patterns. Other neighboring areas started using that stitch including Jerusalem and Ain Karem village, reaching all the way to Beit Dajan village in Jaffa and other areas as well.
The use of velvet in the making of dresses has a lovely backstory. At that time, the wedding day was considered a very sacred day for women, and brides would compete as to who would introduce a beautiful new trend. That is when importing velvet from Germany to Palestine in 1860 became the ‘new’ and special trend to the bridal dress.

The shawl is off-white adorned with an embroidered piece of maroon velvet, in the same patterns as the thobe.
