It is a patch that imitates a dove of peace and an olive with cross-stitch embroidery.
It is not an iron patch, so please sew it by hand, glue it with cloth bond, or double-sided tape.
The color of the yarn changes every time it arrives. We will choose the color and deliver it to you, but if you have any requests, please let us know via chat.
◆ History of Palestinian hand embroidery
Due to its deep history, Palestinian embroidery has been designated as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2021, the same as Japanese food. The embroidery patterns and techniques that have been passed down from mother to daughter to the next generation are so old that they can be traced back to BC. The traditional costume of total embroidery is a gem that is coveted by embroidery lovers and ethnic lovers. Many of them are no longer everyday wear due to war and refugees, but are worn on special occasions, but there are still people who continue to make products with embroidery for the next generation.
◆ About the production organization "Holy Land Handicraft Cooperatives Society" of this product
It is the oldest member of the World Federation of Fair Trade (WFTO) in the Middle East. We support a local community of 2,000 people in Palestine (Bethlehem and the West Bank), and we have overcome the Corona disaster and continue to support craftsmen so that there is no turnover while tourism income, which is still the pillar of the town, does not come in at all.
◆ About "Kake Chopsticks"
With the motto "There are no borders in love", Kake Chopsticks is a Palestinian miscellaneous goods specialty store that develops, selects, and sells products with fair trade. In addition to conveying the charm of the local people and culture that I actually experienced during my homestay, I also convey the joy of caring for wooden products and incorporating the distortion of natural materials and human hands into our lives.
We always handle about 40 types of daily miscellaneous goods, kitchen utensils, stationery, etc. that can be picked up regardless of age or gender (due to the number of stocks and costs, some items are not listed on goooods), and in addition to face-to-face sales, in-house e-commerce, and wholesale, we have also opened stores at events at Hankyu Hanshin Department Store, Meitetsu Department Store, and Matsuya Ginza.
