KILLING SOCRATES
ACTS OF REMEMBERING
The Levant is rich in its tradition of embroidery. Practised by women who wove complex motifs especially onto their wedding dresses, their choice of embroidery and thread colour was deeply rooted in local symbolism.
Embroidery patterns carry cultural identity, memory and oral history. This pattern is based on an embroidery from Jaffa, Hebron and Gaza.
In Jaffa, it was called the Almond Branch; in Hebron and Gaza it was called Dumo, Arabic for Tears. With it, we remember culture even with the pain and trauma being experienced by many in Palestine and the region as a whole.
Beauty and resilience flourish in hardship. Silk rooted in history. Where to, from here?
Tears Turban £84

I wish I had discovered this years ago. My hair is finally looking gorgeous with minimal effort. I am a total convert and plan on getting my mum a fold for her birthday so she can experience this too!
I love it! It stays on all night and is super comfortable. It saves me having to wash my hair so much as my hair is not all frizzy the next day. It’s a life changer!
beautiful hair wrap and the first one which had actually stayed on all night and not needed me to use clips or fix it too tightly - worth every penny as it actually does what it says it will - lovely customer service as well
Fabulous head wrap!! Very easy to use, versatile and beautiful. First head wrap that is so comfortable that I am excited to wear it to bed!! It keeps my hair in place and in it’s healthiest condition!
Love this fold! I have tried so many head wraps, bandannas, scarves; you name it! This is finally the one that works and stays put without damaging my curls or drying out my curls!!! Thank you!
Just love the feel of this on my head, it keeps my curls bouncy & shiny with no frizz at all. LOVE it. The customer service was second to one, so very helpful; nothing was too much trouble.
My fold came quickly in lovely recyclable packaging. Still getting used to making the turban for nighttime use, but I will get there. Love wearing it as a bandana during the day. My hair looks so much better in the morning, which saves time having to style it!
Love this fold - would highly recommend this brand. Not like others. The wraps are actually silk both sides and stays on my head. It's a no brainer.
Super item. Stays on all night and my hair is completely different in the morning. I’ve not needed to wash my hair so often and it is less frizzy. I was. A little worried as I have a child sized head but the small is perfect!!!
