Dayfa Black Poncho Blouse with Hand-Embroidered Brides (Al-Arayes)

Meet Dayfa, named after a queen of Aleppo.

Dayfa Khatun was an Ayyubid queen who ruled Aleppo as regent for six years, admired for her wisdom, her charity and the schools and mosques she built. This blouse celebrates the women who carry tradition forward, just as she did.

A free-size poncho blouse in flowing black Indonesian crepe georgette with wide batwing sleeves. Across the front hem stands a row of Palestinian brides (al-arayes, العرايس), each hand-stitched in her own colourful embroidered thobe, from pink and emerald to royal blue, red and saffron. Bouquets of wildflowers in red, violet, yellow and sky blue bloom along both sleeves. Effortless with jeans or trousers, and a joyful piece for henna nights, Eid and family gatherings.

Handmade by Palestinian refugee women in Jordan.
