The 1960-1970s Bethlehem Taqsirah Vest
Handmade in Bethlehem in the 1960s–70s, this velvet vest features the “Tahriri” stitch—a traditional couching technique that uses metal wire, gold thread, and silk threads to mold spiraling, floral motifs.
The medallion motif at the center draws from Ottoman military-style jackets and is one of the more common motifs seen on taqsirahs.
Taqsirahs are usually worn over thobes but at SAMAKA, we love the opportinity to incorporate traditional pieces into everyday looks. Wear this vest with a pair of jeans as seen on our lovely model or a dress for more formal occasions.
This vest fits a size XS-S (2-6).
✨ PLEASE READ✨

Nothing is perfect, and that’s exactly the charm of vintage and antique clothing. We encourage you to read descriptions carefully and reach out with any questions before purchasing.
