The History and Significance of the Hirbawi Black and White Kufiya
The Kufiya as a Symbol of Livelihood
In Palestinian culture, the kufiya is designed to resemble a fishnet, symbolizing the livelihood of the Palestinian people. Historically, fishing was a crucial aspect of the Palestinian economy. However, it has declined significantly in recent years due to "increased security measures" by neighboring states.
Representing Ancient Trade Routes
The lines cutting through the fishnet design represent the three trade routes that pass through Palestine. These routes have been in use since the times of the Old Testament, making them a significant part of the nation's history.
Emblem of Resilience
Finally, the olive leaves on the kufiya symbolize the strength and resilience of the Palestinian people. Olive trees have economic and cultural significance in Palestine, as they are resistant to drought and grow in poor soil conditions. The depiction of olive leaves on the kufiya serves as a reminder of the resilience of the Palestinian people.
The Hirbawi Black and White keffiyeh is just one example of the many kufiyas that feature these symbolic elements. Whether all three elements are included or only two, each kufiya serves as a symbol of the rich history and culture of Palestine.
In conclusion, the Hirbawi Black and White kufiya is much more than a simple headscarf. It represents the livelihood, trade, and resilience of the Palestinian people, making it a significant part of their cultural heritage.

Exactly what was expected and more, thank you Hirbawi! <3
So beautifully crafted. I love the colours. Thank you guys 🙏 Free Palestine 🕊️🇵🇸
Hirbawi does incredible work. I love this design a lot! May we see a Free Palestine NOW.
Beautiful, comfortable, and a great purchase! Looks a little darker than in the photo but I imagine that’s because of the white background and stage lighting. Not complaining at all, though!
This is probably the nicest piece of fabric I've ever had around my neck 🤣 it's like.... Lightweight, and it keeps me warm, but it's not....hot. Like I can see wearing this in the summer to keep cool. It's so soft too. I feel very nice wearing it.
I bought one of the last kufiyas left, because I finally came across some funds and wanted to support! I absolutely plan on coming back to buy some more when they're in stock. Anyway, free Palestine, and y'all keep doing the good work 🙏🏾
I absolutely love my Hirbawi Beit Sahour Kufiya. The craftsmanship is excellent and the black and brown colors are beautiful together. It’s warm but not too warm and now that it’s worn in a bit it’s perfectly soft. I love that I get to support Palestine in two different ways with this kufiya and I’ve already preordered a traditional black and white one. I can’t recommend Hirbawi enough but I don’t think I have too. If I’ve convinced you to purchase your own kufiya then you’ll have to hop on the waiting list to get alerted when a new batch of kufiyas are available and cross your fingers you see the email before they sell out again. Good luck!
Love this design. Vibrant colors, high quality, keeps me very warm! I am proud to wear my Jericho keffiyeh to show my solidarity with Palestine.
Love it. nice and comfy, even keeps me warm. Wore it skiing a few times and it worked better than a ski mask. The black and grey goes well with every outfit as well.
Blessed to have been lucky enough to grab this for my collection! Hirbawi is quality.
