Nadya Hazboun is a Palestinian women’s wear and jewellery designer who was raised in Bethlehem. Her design is a search for identity and an exploration of how the fashion world could be used as a tool to preserve heritage and culture through bold and powerful statements.
The handmade jewellery collection of olive wood from Bethlehem was born out of Nadya’s passion for both ancient traditions and today’s fashions. Her vision is to give the traditional Bethlehem handicraft of carving olive wood a modern edge, allowing it to be modern and accessible to people all around the world, giving them the opportunity to carry a little piece of the beauty of Palestine with them at all times.
Nadya also produces dresses and casual wear, blending Arabic calligraphy and Palestinian tatreez (embroidery) and the special Bethlehem Tahrireh, which is the main technique of embroidery from Bethlehem. She is taking fashion design to the next level as she just began teaching at Birzeit University. Check Nadya’s website for locations around Palestine where you can find her accessories, latest designs and information about her fashion shows and events.
