I AM ARABI — The Tarboush Brooch

Description A familiar symbol, given a new voice. The tarboush takes centre stage in this expressive embroidered piece, rendered in vivid red and framed by the handwritten declaration I AM ARABI. There is something wonderfully direct about the composition - part cultural memory, part personal statement - turning an instantly recognisable symbol into a celebration of Arab identity. Translated into layers of hand embroidery, its bold graphic quality becomes tactile, bringing the spirit of the original composition into something made to be worn. Styling Notes Let the vivid red become the focal point against crisp white shirting, relaxed tailoring or softly textured neutrals. Wear it on a lapel, collar or scarf as a distinctive finishing touch that adds colour, character and a sense of personal expression.
