Zubaida Two-Tone Satin Thobe with Hand-Embroidered Brides & Flowers

Meet Zubaida, named after a queen of the golden age.

Zubaida was the Abbasid queen of Baghdad, wife of Harun al-Rashid, remembered for her elegance, her generosity and the great pilgrim road that still carries her name. This thobe is made in her spirit: graceful, generous and full of colour.

Two soft tones of lustrous satin, blush pink and pale mint, meet down the front, joined by a long vine of hand-stitched tatreez flowers in red, violet, yellow and sky blue. The same blossoms climb the wide bell sleeves. At the hem, a row of Palestinian brides (al-arayes, العرايس) stand side by side in their embroidered thobes, framed by a floral border that wraps all the way around the back.

Handmade by Palestinian refugee women in Jordan. A beautiful choice for a henna night, a Katb Kitab, Eid or any celebration where you want to carry your heritage with you.

These variations are a sign of authenticity and the individual touch of the artisan who created your piece.

Care instructions:
• Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent, or dry clean.
• Do not wring; hang to dry away from direct sunlight.
• Iron on low heat on the reverse side, avoiding the embroidery.
• Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as they can fade or damage the embroidery.
