Loading ...Weaving the way into the Palestinian fashion industry
Celebrating the resilience, patience and perseverance of every woman that has fought and struggled to succeed and survive in or out of Palestine, Untha is an upcoming fashion collection which was showcased in Jerusalem in June.
Untha, which means female in Arabic, is a tribute to Palestinian women who have for decades carried the Palestinian identity under occupation.
Natalie Tahhan is the fashion designer behind Untha, she first created a brand which carries her name. It was the first of its kind to bring international fashion expertise to Jerusalem, offering luxurious high-end womenswear. The concept is to weave traditional Palestinian elements of intricate hand sewn embroidery and print into contemporary designs, to create exclusive pieces marked by elegance and innovation.
