Hailing from Palestine, Nöl Collective is a storytelling fashion label that collaborates with family-run workshops, artisan studios, and women’s cooperatives across the country. It is a collective that preserves and celebrates generational practices in weaving, embroidery, natural dyeing, knitting, and tailoring, co-creating garments and accessories that honour local craftsmanship and resilience.
Rooted in ancestral knowledge, Nöl Collective’s practice centres on the artisan; their craft, their vision, and their well-being over mass production or profit, creating pieces that carry both meaning and intention. More than fashion, Nöl Collective is a platform for the human and political narratives behind each creation. By highlighting the stories of its makers, it shifts the focus from designers and brands, advocating for fair treatment, ethical wages, and cultural recognition. Each piece becomes a lens into life under occupation, carrying the histories, labour, and spirit of Palestinians.
This year, Nöl Collective advanced its storytelling mission with the capsule collection Roots & Threads 2025, fusing traditional weaving, embroidery, and natural-dye techniques with contemporary silhouettes, celebrating heritage and resilience. Throughout the year, the collective hosted workshops, documented artisans’ stories, and presented pop-up exhibitions in Amman and Ramallah, turning garments into living history. Committed to sustainability, they expanded their use of natural fibres and introduced a repair-and-refinish program. By year’s end, Nöl Collective had released heritage-inspired wearable art, strengthened artisan networks, and amplified often-overlooked voices through fashion as both craft and storytelling.
