The Tatreez Institute Dress Collection

Also known as Tatreez & Tea, the Tatreez Institute (TI) was founded by Wafa Ghnaim in 2016 with the mission to serve as a resource for the preservation, documentation and research of Palestinian, Syrian and Jordanian embroidery, history and dressmaking traditions. The TI is dedicated to preserving cultural heritage and preventing cultural erasure, stewarding a collection of over 180 dresses and headdresses from Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon that were rescued from dumpsters, estates, households, and vintage shops around the world for the purpose of preservation, education, publication and research of intangible cultural heritage in the diaspora.

The online dress collection is coming soon.
