Coming APRIL 16: The ZeenaXDarzah Collection

We are proud to announce our partnership with Darzah, a Fair Trade Certified ethical fashion brand dedicated to improving the lives of refugee and low-income women living in the West Bank. Unemployment rates for women in Palestine are especially high, reaching upwards of 44.7% in 2017. Together with Darzah, we’ve designed a collection of scarves that aims to make a difference in the lives of these talented women, while celebrating the quality, culture and beauty of tatreez embroidery.

"Darzah is a non-profit, ethical fashion brand specializing in Palestinian tatreez embroidery, a centuries-old art form, traditionally passed down from mother to daughter. We are committed to paying fair wages to our employees, implementing sustainable manufacturing practices, and supporting marginalized communities. Each of our pieces is hand-embroidered and 100% handcrafted in the West Bank."  – www.darzah.org

The ZeenaXDarzah Collection will debut exclusively with Zeena on April 16th, bringing you the exquisite craftsmanship of women artisans living in Palestine. Each of our luxuriously soft jersey cotton wraps will feature a different tatreez border, where every stitch is sewn by hand.

Our partnership with Darzah underscores our commitment to empowering women entrepreneurs. Every contribution we make will foster financial opportunities for women artisans living in the West Bank and create safer, healthier places for them to work. Together, we can help keep the tatreez tradition alive. We invite you to join us in our efforts. Together, we can make a difference.
