Levantine lifestyle brand Palestinian Hustle has just revealed the release of a new collection, dubbed Native, in collaboration with Gaza-based artist Reem Harazin. Available in limited quantities, the new line of tees and hoodies aims at celebrating the embattled parcel of land’s identity by sartorially “referencing the rich heritage and enduring spirit” of its people, as stated in a shared announcement.
Weaving Palestinian culture into every piece, each garment features symbolic elements that pay homage to Harazin’s homeland. From the ancient walls of Jerusalem to olive leaves and Keffiyeh patterns, the collection is described as “a wearable statement of Palestinian pride and resilience.”

“Designing this collection in the midst of the current devastation of Gaza and the extreme challenges we face, has been motivation for me. The result intertwines Palestine’s past, present, and future, with every stitch celebrating our shared history and heritage. In launching the collection, we invite you to join us in this journey of belonging, pride, and the promise of return to a free Palestine,” Harazin said in a press release.
What’s more, it has also been revealed that proceeds from sales will be redirected to support the artist and her family who continue to face the harsh realities of living under Israeli occupation forces. The Native collection is now available on Palestinian Hustle’s official website, with t-shirts priced at $40 and hoodies at $50.
This is not the first time that Harazin has joined forces with the purpose-driven brand. Three years ago, the duo had already worked around a debut collection, titled Stronger Together, which conveyed a powerful message of unity and collective strength. These are still available for purchase on the label’s e-shop.
