ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Yasmin Flat brings traditional Palestinian embroidery to a timeless women's shoe silhouette. Each pair features intricate tatreez stitching, a centuries-old needlework art form that creates beautiful geometric patterns using colorful threads across the soft gray leather.
Handcrafted by skilled artisans using locally sourced leather from Al-Khalil, these flats feature leather insoles, lining, and a leather-rubber outsole for lasting comfort. The leather construction requires a gentle break-in period as the shoes naturally mold to your unique foot shape, becoming increasingly comfortable with each wear.
More than footwear, these flats celebrate cultural heritage while supporting Fair Trade practices and women's economic empowerment in traditional craftmaking communities.
