Guide to the Palestinian Art of Embroidery
Couldn't load pickup availability
This book is the culmination of joint research and drawing by two Palestinian artists and authors: Sliman Mansour and Nabil Anani.
The book contains both an introduction of the history, development, and functions of Palestinian embroidery as well as 642 motifs drawn by Mansour and Anani. These motifs have been copied from a large number of Palestinian traditional dresses, and have been simplified on graph paper.
Each motif references the region it originated from, the location on the dress it was stitched on, and the DMC thread colors it was stitched with.
Language of Book: Arabic, but contains enough imagery to be enjoyed and used by non-Arabic speakers.

Shipping and Returns
Shipping and Returns
DOMESTIC
At BADAN, our small team works hard to hand-package and ship out your orders in a timely fashion. Most orders are fulfilled in a day, though our typical fulfillment timeline is 3-5 business days. Please note this is separate from shipping time. Once your order is processed, the shipping time varies based on the shipping method that is chosen. Please keep in mind that during holiday periods, this time can be a little longer.
INTERNATIONAL
BADAN ships internationally. All additional taxes, customs, and import duties are the responsibility of the customer. We do, however, do our best to minimize your costs upon arrival in your country. We have a 14-day return policy, which means you have 14 days after receiving your item to request a return.
RETURNS
We understand that sometimes things just don't work out! If this happens, we will be happy to help you initiate a return. To request one, you may contact us at info@badancollective.com. Your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you instructions on how and where to send your package.
Please note we do not cover return shipping fees for non-damaged items, and funds take 2-3 business days to appear on the original payment method.
Care
Care
Hand-embroidered tatreez items or woven fabrics can be hand-washed or machine-washed cold using delicate settings and light laundry detergent. We then recommend air drying. This helps preserve the longevity of your piece and further aid in its preservation for years to come.
