Fatma Hergli, Embroidery Artisan

Fatma Hergli,Embroidery Artisan I went to school in 1985 to learn sewing and embroidery. I studied for three years in Hammamet, where embroidery is part of our traditions and daily life. From the beginning, embroidery stayed with me more than sewing. I liked sitting quietly with the work, repeating the same movements until my hands felt at ease.  After finishing school and getting my diploma, I continued working from home in Hammamet. I never stopped. This work became part of my days, something I return to naturally, without forcing it.  I truly love what I do. I put my heart into every piece I embroider. With time, my hands learned to be patient and precise. What I make today carries years of practice, but also the passion I have always felt for this work.

Nabila Hamhoum, Sewing and Couture Artisan​

Nabila Hamhoum,Sewing and Couture Artisan I am 52 years old. I am married, and I have three children. I studied sewing and couture for six years. I loved this work from the start, and that love has only grown with time.  After my studies, I opened my own atelier and worked with clients. Later, I began teaching sewing to girls from rural areas. I believe sewing is more than a job, it is something that gives dignity, confidence, and independence. Today, after more than 30 years, I still sew every day, from morning until night. I do this work with my whole heart. Each piece I make carries my attention, my emotions, and the passion I feel every time I sit in front of my machine.

LES COSTUMES TRADITIONNELS FEMININS DE TUNISIE

LES COSTUMES TRADITIONNELS FEMININS DE TUNISIE A key reference book that explores the richness and diversity of Tunisian women’s dress across regions and traditions. Through historical research and visual documentation, the book highlights how garments embody identity, heritage, and ancestral craftsmanship. More than clothing, these costumes reflect the social, cultural, and symbolic roles of Tunisian women, values that closely resonate with Maison DEDA’s approach to honoring tradition while reinterpreting it in a contemporary language. The publication is a collective work, bringing together historians, ethnologists, anthropologists, and heritage specialists, notablyAziza Ben Tarfous, Dalenda Largueche, Sonia Zarg Ayouna, and other Tunisian researchers.
