The Hirbawi Kufiya: Embrace Palestinian Heritage and Show Your Solidarity
The black and white keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress originally worn by farmers, has long been a symbol of Palestinian identity and resistance, dating back to the British administration of the Palestinian mandate. Embracing this emblematic piece by choosing the authentic Hirbawi kufiya demonstrates solidarity and preserves Palestinian heritage.
The Keffiyeh: A Symbol of Palestinian Identity
The keffiyeh, also known as a hatta or shemagh, is a square piece of cloth usually made from cotton. Historically worn by farmers and Bedouins for protection against harsh desert conditions, the keffiyeh gained political significance during the British administration of the Palestinian mandate. It evolved into a powerful symbol of Palestinian nationalism and resistance against foreign rule and, later, against Israeli occupation. Iconic figures like Yasser Arafat frequently donned the keffiyeh, reinforcing its importance in Palestinian culture. For Palestinians, the keffiyeh represents resilience, cultural pride, and a connection to their land and history. By wearing the keffiyeh, you visually express solidarity and commitment to the struggle for independence.

Selecting Hirbawi is a meaningful choice. Hirbawi kufiyas are made with care and dedication, ensuring high quality and authenticity.

Demonstrating Solidarity: Wearing the Keffiyeh with Purpose
Wearing Hirbawi kufiya serves as a powerful statement of solidarity. However, wearing it with a deep understanding of its cultural and political significance, including its roots during the British administration of the Palestinian mandate, is essential. When you put on the keffiyeh, you align yourself with the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice, and dignity. By choosing our Hirbawi kufiya, you show that you value authenticity, tradition, and the rich cultural heritage of Palestine. Your purchase makes a difference in preserving this symbol and supporting the artisans who create these meaningful pieces.

subtle and beautiful
This combination of white on white with black fringe is incredibly low-key luxurious. It's beautiful pattern/color combination are so understated and wearing it in any manner feels so light. I can see it being the perfect all-weather, all-use item to have on hand.

So beautiful!
The colors are perfect! Someone stole my older Hirbawi kaffiyah and this was a different style to replace it. I get constant compliments, and let people know if they want one, the only Palestinian owned factory has an amazing scope of patterns.

Great product - wouldn't buy from anyone else.
I've had this scarf since March of 2021 (2yrs). There's nothing negative to say about it. I have a long beard and wanted something nice to wear as a mask when requierd. This is both beautiful and comfortable; and very breathable. That was the impetus for looking for something like this. At the same time I wanted something that I would like wearing as a scarf anywhere with whatever attire. I'll be getting at least one more to cover my bases, but this has been fantastic thus far. I wear it more than I thougth I would. Our house is drafty, and this helps me regulate my temperatue more than putting on a vest or sweater. Finally, I'm proud to wear this and support Hirbawi.
My purchase was from Amazon. I'll provide the order number to verify if needed but would rather that info be private.

Wanted Mediterranean Blue but it was sold out. Went with aka I did not notice the pink in the color pattern. Which I don't like. But the quality is superior to most shemagh I have purchase. Just wish they had all the shemagh in stock that are on the site.
