The watermelon stands for Palestine because a slice of it carries the four colors of the flag: red, black, white and green. When the flag could not be raised, the fruit could be carried, painted or worn. Every piece in this collection puts that slice on something you can wear or use every day.
What is in the collection. Embroidered and printed T-shirts and an oversized T-shirt, the watermelon hoodie, cropped hoodie and premium hoodie with a tatreez band, a sweater and a knitted sweater, a long sleeve, the watermelon dad hat and beanie, tote bags, stickers, a mug, the watermelon keffiyeh iPhone case and wall art. The watermelon map T-shirt sets the slice inside the outline of Palestine.
Embroidered or printed. Most designs are embroidered, so the slice sits raised on the fabric and holds its color through washing. Printed pieces are marked in the title. Hoodies and sweaters are unisex and several run small, so check the size note on each product page.

Frequently asked questions
What does the watermelon mean for Palestine? Its red, black, white and green match the Palestinian flag, so it became a way to show the flag's colors when the flag itself was restricted after 1967.
Is the watermelon design embroidered? On most pieces, yes. Printed items say so in the product title.
Do the hoodies run small? Several do; each product page says whether to size up.
