Made with Purpose, Woven with Story. Just in Time for the Holidays.

Made with Purpose, Woven with Story. Just in Time for the Holidays.

Stay tuned for Wafa’s Christmas collection — Handstitched with Love from the Yarmouk Refugee Camp in Syria. Or get creative with Um Abdulaziz and her team in Bethlehem, bringing heritage to life one stitch at a time. Dream up that traditional Palestinian thobe with Attaf and her sisters’ collective in Amman, which works a dozen Palestinian refugee embroiderers who pour their hearts into bringing your designs to life.

As Ramadan approaches, start thinking about those Iftar and Suhoor outfits — Um Mahmoud and her partner tailor in Baqaa can make them a reality. And keep an eye out for our upcoming Ramadan Collection, created in collaboration with our ever-growing community.

If you’re looking for something more casual and ready to wear, discover our T-fil shirts — everyday pieces featuring artwork by Raghad (11), Aboud (10) and more children from Gaza, who find hope and self-expression through their drawings amid unimaginable circumstances. And if something’s not quite right with your retail item, we’ve got your back with a free 30 day return and exchange policy.

We’re not perfect, but we’re deeply purposeful. Every stitch brings you closer to our community and helps us give back. Shipping is always on us, too.

Almost all our items are made on demand, which means your order may take a little time. But it’s worth it — your piece tells a story, sometimes accompanied by a handwritten note from the seamstress who made it.

Our community keeps growing, and we’re always open to welcoming new embroiderers and artisans. If you know someone who should join our collective, write us at admin@urbanpal.co.

And if you have feedback, please share — we promise to listen. 💚
