Description
Ramallah-inspired Silk Thobe
This 21st-century silk thobe represents a modern interpretation of Palestinian dress, with its straight, loose silhouette, wide sleeves and bold vertical panelling. The embroidered chest panel features vibrant geometric cross-stitch motifs on a white ground, including the cypress tree and Ramallah's arch motif, while the border motifs along the neckline also reflect the Ramallah style. The overall design is the embodiment of contemporary adaptation rather than traditional regional style.
