Description

Patteh Embroidered Tissue Box Cover – Handmade in Shahdad, Kerman

Bring a touch of Persian heritage and handcrafted beauty into your home with this stunning hand-embroidered tissue box cover, made by Gojino, a collective of women artisans from Shafiabad village in the Shahdad region of Kerman Province, Iran.

Each piece is crafted using traditional Patteh Doozi (Patteh embroidery) — a centuries-old wool embroidery technique unique to the region. The fabric used, called ‘Areez’, is made of pure wool, and the patterns are stitched using naturally dyed woolen threads known as ‘Rees’. Dyes are extracted from pomegranate rind, walnut shells, madder root, and henna leaves, resulting in rich, earthy tones that are both vibrant and eco-friendly.

The design motifs—paisley, Tree of Life, Toranj medallions, and floral borders—are more than decoration. They reflect the harmony of nature, the endurance of culture, and the resilience of the women who make them.

This tissue box cover is fully lined for added durability and neatness, offering not just a beautiful accent for your home, but also a purposeful purchase.

What is Patteh?

Patteh is an iconic form of Persian needlework from Kerman, often created by rural women on thick woolen fabric. Each piece is 100% handmade and takes days or weeks to complete. Traditional symbols like cypress trees, toranj medallions, and birds convey spiritual and natural meanings, transforming each item into a cultural story told through thread.
