The rebozo originated in Mexico and is the name of the long traditional scarf women use for a variety of purposes, including baby-wearing. It's increasingly popular as a non-invasive tool for supporting natural labor by reducing discomfort and even helping babies reposition themselves.

In 2018, one of Handmade Palestine's customers custom ordered a rebozo using traditional keffiyeh fabric. A few weeks later, he sent photos of his wife's labor, featuring the rebozo we made. It was amazing and touching. We're actually using his photos here (so thank you, Kevin and Lena!).

 

These are made from woven cotton fabric sourced from the only keffiyeh factory in Palestine, in the city of Hebron. We use a local tailor to hem the edges. We are happy to customize the length if you want it a bit longer--just give us enough time!
