Caftan Silk Wedding Dress

This Ramallah wedding dress reflects both elegance and the rich textile heritage of a region once known as an important weaving centre alongside Gaza and Majdal. Traditionally made from handwoven linen or cotton, Ramallah garments feature refined cross-stitch embroidery in rich silk floss, with motifs that evolved over centuries. This ensemble includes a khirka embroidered with the Ramallah 'S' motif, the 'Moon of Ramallah' and the 'Road to Egypt' pattern. Tall palms at the hem highlight one of Ramallah's most recognisable designs, long associated with local craftsmanship and livelihood. Additional motifs such as the 'Eye of the Cow', the 'Moon of Bethlehem' and vine leaf borders enhance the dress and reflect the artistry that shaped Ramallah's distinctive style.
