Kermaz

In 1989, colored threads, efforts, and dreams came together to weave a workshop that preserves the Jordanian Palestinian heritage inherited from ancestors, working on reviving it, preserving it, and passing it on to future generations.
1989, the idea of "Kermaz" was born under the name "Heritage Workshop," specializing in authentic heritage embroidery art, to reclaim its place in our lives, becoming a source of pride for our national identity and cultural heritage, and serving as another fortress through which we express our stories and identity.
In 2018, a permanent heritage exhibition was established under the name "Kermaz." Perhaps the threads that formed this name encapsulate our story, as it is inspired by the word "Qirmaz," which refers to the deep, rich, and powerful red color, just like our heritage.

"Kermaz"
For every heritage piece, there is a story woven from history by the hands of embroiderers guarding heritage and memory. "Their threads weave the tale."

""Kermaz" is the result of the Heritage Committee affiliated with the Arab Cultural Society, which has been dedicated since 1989 to the authentic Palestinian and Jordanian artisan heritage, particularly hand-embroidered peasant embroidery. "Kermaz" serves as the nurturing umbrella preserving heritage as part of the vision and mission of the Arab Cultural Society.


Our Vision:

Where did the name of your store come from?
