Hand Woven Straw Plates

Hand Woven Straw Plates

Crafted in the Upper Galilee, these handwoven straw plates are living expressions of Palestinian heritage.

Each plate begins in the fields, where heritage wheat is planted, harvested, and carefully selected for weaving. The straw is either kept in its natural golden color or dyed the traditional way using pigments from flowers, herbs, and spices.

Traditionally, these plates were used in daily life to serve bread or in celebrations to hold wedding garments, perfumes, or sweets. Today, they bring warmth and authenticity into modern homes, whether used as serving pieces, table décor, or displayed as wall art.

Every plate is unique, reflecting not only the beauty of the craft but also the story of cultural exchange across the region, where Palestinian, Lebanese, and Syrian influences meet in design.

By owning one, you’re not just bringing home a handmade plate, you’re preserving a piece of history and supporting the continuation of a craft that nearly disappeared.
