Palestine • نعمانة
MEANING OF THE NAME
From Shaqa'iq al-Nu'man — the anemones of Nu'man.
STORY
The red poppy blooms across Palestine every spring — carpeting hillsides, pushing through stone, returning year after year. It doesn't ask permission. It doesn't wait for invitation. It simply appears, crimson against green, impossible to ignore. In Palestinian poetry, it is a flower of blood, of love, of what endures.
THE DESIGN
The Nu'mana is a floor-length embroidered open abaya in black Italian crepe, with red poppy embroidery and hand-set crystal beads across the front panels and sleeves. It is fully lined and comes with a matching black sheila.
The poppies open in layered red thread, each center set with black faceted crystal beads that catch light as you move. Green stems and closed buds trail between the blooms, so the flowers seem to grow from the garment rather than rest on it. At the cuffs, the embroidery wraps the sleeve and the edge is cut to follow the outline of the petals.
Italian crepe gives the piece a heavier hand and a fluid, unhurried drape. The body is fully lined, so the garment is fully opaque. Embroidery is designed in-house and executed with precision. Every bead is set by hand using Tambour technique.
Designed for Eid, weddings, and any occasion that calls for presence. Sizes S to XXL. The inner dress shown is not included.
