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.

Absolutely incredible piece of Palestinian history. Made by the last standing factory making the keffiyeh, i got mine to stand in solidarity with Palestinians in my life and everywhere in their fight for liberation and freedom. Please support Hirbawi before its too late.
Love this keffiyeh, great quality!
The pattens and intricate thread work are so beautiful and I love to wear it out. It makes as a nice cover when it's a bit cool and it's a gorgeous display of Palestinian support.
Got this colorful one as a gift for my lover. The pattern brings so much joy and pride. An honor to wear the colors of up-rising and power to the people. Free Palestine!
The craft and care are obvious in each thread, so soft and light. The black and bright blue make such a gorgeous contrast, and it feels to carry the emotions of Yafa, nostalgia of a summer night with the orange blossoms and sea salt carried on the breeze. The black base makes this a bold conversation piece to wear for both radical and formal occasions. Powerful and elegant. Shukran!
I love my new Kufiyas
This Kufiya is made of just the right weight of cotton. It's lightweight and breathable. My friend, who is from Nablus in the West Bank, showed me how to wear the Kufiya. That was pretty wonderful.
This is even more beautiful in person. The embroidered pattern is a lovely shade of blue and has a subtle shine to it. It adds a pop of color to any neutral outfit. I love the unmatched quality of Hirbawi kufiyas and cherish any opportunity to support Palestinian livelihoods and show my solidarity.
I originally bought my kufiya to show solidarity, but I use it for so much more. I'm a bald woman, and it helps me protect my head from the sun AND feel beautiful. It's very comfortable, soft but sturdy, and looks lovely. In the winter, I'm sure it will keep me warm, too. I adore the pattern, and the color is really versatile! Thank you.
