Palestinian-owned artisan brands, Etsy shops, and Muslim-owned small businesses where every purchase goes directly to Palestinian workers and families.
Small Businesses & Muslim-Owned Brands
Small businesses — especially Palestinian-owned artisan brands — are often the most impactful place to direct your spending. Unlike large corporations where profits diffuse through many layers, buying from small Palestinian-owned businesses means money goes directly to Palestinian workers, artisans, and families.
This page covers Etsy sellers, Instagram-based businesses, handmade product brands, and Muslim-owned small businesses with verified Palestine support.

How to Find More
Beyond the brands listed here, there are hundreds of Palestinian artisans and small businesses operating on Etsy, Instagram, and independent websites. Here's how to find and verify them:
Many Palestinian artisans operate verified Etsy shops. Look for shops that show their actual production process, have Palestinian addresses or explicitly state products are made in Gaza/West Bank, and have reviews confirming receipt of handmade goods.
Tatreez is traditional Palestinian embroidery — a UNESCO-recognized intangible cultural heritage. It uses cross-stitch to create geometric patterns that carry regional identity and meaning. Buying tatreez products directly supports the artisans who preserve this tradition.
Most established brands like Darzah, Hirbawi, and Taita Leila ship internationally through their websites. Some Gaza-based artisans face shipping restrictions due to the siege — purchasing through intermediary platforms that handle logistics can help.
