Palestinian Catfiyyeh Gang Tote Bag
Out of stock
Watan is proud to present our latest batch of Palestinian totes!
This design began mostly in jest (and because we love cats so much that we imagine dressing them up in mini kuffiyehs and starting a Palestinian cat cafe at Watan, oh dear). Perhaps some may find it a bit disrespectful, this dressing of cats up in a powerful symbol of Palestinian resistance. But that same symbol has been so watered down that everyone and their mother wears it. So if every other person can wear it--regardless of their political and personal affiliations--why not a cat? Let's have an existential crisis a la "The Crucible" and ask: WHAT IS IN A NAME (i.e. SYMBOL)??

“Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted. -Edward Said”
”للمنفى شجن دفين لا يمكن التغلب عليه البتة ، فهو ينبع من الواقع الأساسي للمنفي، من بين الذات وموطنها.“
