September Native is an archival streetwear project shaped by my Palestinian family history. My grandmother, known to us as Teta, left Jaffa during the 1948 war and later made her life in the United States, carrying memories of home with her. Her painting of Jaffa oranges reflects how place and memory endure across distance and generations.

September Native draws from a tradition of cultural resistance: protecting memory, maintaining authorship and keeping the past visible. By adapting historic Palestinian posters, prints, publications and symbols for clothing, the project places them within everyday life, where they can introduce someone to an artist, an archive or a part of Palestinian history that might otherwise remain unknown.

Some garments reference archival material directly, while others reinterpret Palestinian imagery through new compositions.

All net proceeds support the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), which provides medical care and humanitarian support to Palestinian children in need.
