قطعاً تحمل طابعاً مستوحى من الشرق الأوسط

A signature item is something associated with a culture/person/organization, etc. If I were to translate this sentence, I would say:

نعرض لكم قطعاً تحمل طابعاً مستوحى من الشرق الأوسط

This way you can combine both words and the structure is more smooth.
Example sentence:

The Marathon is the signature race of the Olympics.

disagree Zeinab Alayan (X) : A signature item is something associated with a culture or a person or something, but it doesn't have to be literally signed. That's not what it means here.

I think the Arabic expression can also be used in a figurative way.
neutral Lamis Maalouf : Zeinab is right. You are translating, Signed items. Special cakes produced by a bakery can be signature items. Please check this: http://www.webersbakery.com/site/epage/48697_670.htm

Peer comments on this reference comment:

neutral Lamis Maalouf : Hi Ziad. Did you read what is in the URL? Please check, "my signature item used to be that when i painted my nails." How can this support that answer?

Hey Lamis, actually I did. But did you read "now my signature item is aot pink bracelet"? After all, Nadia's translation makes real sense. Thank you.
