The 1970s Gaza Qilada Thobe
A rare gem from the 1970s, this Gaza Qilada thobe is a testament to the artistry and precision of Palestinian tatreez. Featuring a tailored silhouette and wide sleeves, it reflects a pivotal moment when tatreez cooperatives in Gaza began blending modern cuts with traditional motifs.
The embroidery on this thobe is among the neatest and most precise we’ve seen in the SAMAKA shop—a stunning example of the mastery held by the artists working in these Gaza-based cooperatives.
Intricately hand-stitched and rich in color, this piece has been beautifully preserved for decades. Some faint stains remain despite professional cleaning—a gentle reminder of its age and lived history.
The back features a zip closure for easy wear.
