Gorgeous sarong by Dries van Noten from around the 2000's in silk and cotton with a Palestinian keffiyeh inspired embroidery.

The keffiyeh was traditionally worn by bedouins to protect themselves from the sun, but overtime has become a symbol of Palestinian resistance and solidarity with the Palestinian people.

The patterns on the Palestinian keffiyeh symbolize various themes:

• Olive leaves: Strength, resilience, perseverance.
• Fishnet: Connection between Palestinian sailors and the Mediterranean Sea.
• Bold lines: Trade routes going through Palestine  including the Silk Road.

The sarong can be worn as a scarf or a skirt, a dress, or a top. 

It is finished with a row of white and golden tassels, whose strings also serve to attached it in different ways.

100% of the proceedings of the sale of this piece will go to a Palestinian NGO.

Measurements: 96 x 126 cm

Here worn with a Gianfranco Ferre silk cream blouse, also available online.
