'Not A Watermelon' Tatreez Mug

Start your day with a cup of coffee and a powerful and artistic tribute to the resilience of Palestinians. Featuring a watermelon slice composed of Palestinian traditional embroidery motifs, our ‘Not a Watermelon’ mug reclaims the watermelon as a symbol of Palestinian solidarity and resistance in the face of censorship. 

The watermelon, with its red, black, white, and green colours has become a quiet but unmistakable stand for freedom, mirroring the colours of the Palestinian flag. The phrase ‘This is not a watermelon’ references the clever ways Palestinians have used the watermelon whenever the Palestinian flag was banned by Israeli forces.

Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee or sharing the story behind the design, this mug is more than just a kitchen staple—it’s a statement of solidarity, creativity, and resistance.
