Even better and more beautiful than expected

These boots are beautifully crafted and make me feel like I'm wearing a work of art. They fit comfortably and mold to your feet over time which is good for me because they started off a teensy bit narrow for my wider toe box. These look and feel like a QUALITY pair of boots- timeless and suitable for a wide range of seasons and styles. I even started wearing them with my summer jumpsuits and wide-leg/drapey pants because I couldn't wait for the fall!

Salma Ankle Boot

These boots are amazingly comfortable and made very well. Felt like a pair of slippers the minute I put them on. Feels good to support the Palestine people with all that’s happening in the world today. I will definitely shop with you again!

Birthday gift

I bought these boots as a birthday gift for my daughter. They fit perfectly and are so beautiful! The pictures don’t do them justice…you need to see them to believe the beauty of the workmanship and style.

Gorgeous!

I absolutely love these boots. They are comfortable and beautiful. They are my new go-to shoes whenever I leave the house and don’t want to wear sneakers.

LOVE!!!

I had my eye on the Tatreez black boots for a while, and my only regret is not purchasing them sooner! They are beautifully handcrafted - and also comfortable. Darzah's accessories (face masks and headbands) are also beautiful and would make great gifts! And the best part is that Darzah employs women artisans in the West Bank so you can feel great about your purchase.
