Sumud Stories is humbled to offer the first branded Palestinian flags made in Palestine, addressing historical restrictions where displaying a Palestinian flag could lead to imprisonment. With the establishment of the Palestinian Authority, these legal constraints were lifted, but local factories still hesitated to produce the flags due to fear of retaliation. To circumvent these risks, Sumud Stories decentralized production. The cutting and quality control of the textiles are done in a textile factory in Beit Jala, while the actual assembly is carried out by Palestinian women at home in the Dheisheh and Aida refugee camps in Bethlehem. This approach not only ensures safety and supports local craftsmanship but also empowers women economically and socially within their communities.
The Israeli occupation nevertheless makes every effort to purge the Palestinian flag from all of the territories of Palestine. This is because what the Palestinian flag represents is a danger to the Israeli apartheid. Among all of the Middle Eastern flags that display the Pan-Arab colours, the Palestinian flag is overall the most identical to the flag of the historic Arab Revolt against the Ottoman empire. And still today, the Palestinian flag represents far more than its geographical boundaries, as it has steadily become a global symbol of revolution.

Welcome to Sumud Stories – where each product we create is a celebration of collaboration, craftsmanship, and resilience. Our journey starts in Palestine, a land known for its deep historical roots and a culture rich with diverse artisanal practices. Here, we work closely with local artisans, combining their traditional techniques with innovative designs to craft pieces that narrate the rich artisanal industry of Palestine and its people.
“Sumud” means steadfastness in Arabic, reflecting our commitment to endure and thrive despite challenges. This ethos is woven into every aspect of our work, guiding our artisans as they produce items that are not only culturally significant but also of the highest quality.
We are a collective of Palestinian artisans, each contributing their unique story of resilience and creativity to the products they make. Our mission is to bring the beauty and richness of Palestinian craftsmanship to the world, connecting people with our heritage through items that resonate with deep cultural significance.
Sumud Stories stands as a celebration of the enduring spirit of Palestine and its people. We invite you to explore our collection, learn about the stories behind each piece, and join us in honouring a legacy that continues to inspire and evolve. Together, we carry forward the narrative of Sumud, one beautiful piece at a time.
