About:
CHACHOULIE brings to you handmade accessories that are designed and made in London using the fabrics of Palestine. 
The aim is to breathe life back into the embroidery and kuffiyehs (black and white male headdress) of Palestine and bring them to a world audience by mixing craft, creation and imagination. Pieces of hand stitched Palestinian embroidery, often vintage, are transformed into exclusive limited edition accessories and the light cotton of the Kuffiyeh is viewed as a versatile fabric that lends itself well to today’s fashions and tastes. 
I have combined these fabrics with Western jewellery components and haberdashery to present to you unusual new ideas. The pieces that have utilised embroidery are made around the existing design of the embroidery. The size, colour and shape of the piece dictates the style and use of the final creation. I view each fragment as a unique work of art. I share the artistic stage with the anonymous embroiderer. With great regard to this, I cut into the stitches with care and waste nothing. Since the embroidery is hand stitched, absolute symmetry is not always achieved and items cannot always be repeated.
