1970s Bedouin Kaleidoscope Thobe
A vibrant 1970s Bedouin thobe with batwings that have been tacked to create a short-sleeve silhouette. The chest panel blooms with psychedelic flowers and traditional motifs from the Bedouin communities of Palestine, especially the Be’er Saba region.
Orange, pink, and yellow threads come together in joyful, expressive patterns — the kind of embroidery often associated with unmarried women of the time. Set on a black polyester base, this thobe is striking, playful, and rooted in heritage.
Wear it as is, or layer it over a long-sleeve shirt underneath, as traditionally worn ✨
Fit: Shown on a model who is 5'8" and wears XS–S. Best fits sizes XS–M.
Measurements:
Armpit to armpit: 20 in
Shoulder to hem: 54 in
Condition: Professionally cleaned and ready to wear. The sleeves were originally made in a batwing style. The sleeves have been cut and tacked onto the shoulder to create a short sleeve style.
