More details

The Deir al Balah keffiyeh draws from a city whose name translates to “Monastery of the Date Palm,” a place long known for its golden harvest and enduring spirit. The date palm, thriving in even the harshest conditions, has come to represent both sustenance and resilience, offering sweetness where it is least expected.

This design reflects that same balance. There is a softness in its inspiration, but also a deep-rooted strength, shaped by a place that has stood at the crossroads of history for centuries. Deir al Balah has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, yet its identity, like the palms that surround it, continues to endure and flourish.

Sourced from Al-Khalil (Hebron), West Bank, Palestine, where one of the two last remaining keffiyeh factories continues to produce authentic Palestinian keffiyehs, each piece supports the preservation of a craft that carries both cultural meaning and lived history.

Details

Colour: brown, black, cream

Material: 85% cotton, 15% synthetic

Origin: Al-khalil (Hebron), West Bank, Palestine

Care
We recommend hand washing, as the fabric and tassels are delicate. Machine washing may damage the finish.
If needed, gently spot clean the marked area. The mark may or may not fade with washing.
The tassels are stitched with a continuous thread. If any loose threads appear, avoid pulling them and instead secure them with a stitch to prevent damage.
Giving back

By supporting this keffiyeh, you are directly contributing to one of the last two remaining factories in the region still producing authentic Palestinian keffiyehs, helping sustain livelihoods and preserve a craft that continues under ongoing occupation and erasure.

A portion of proceeds is shared with marginalised communities through our ongoing partnership with human rights organisation Restless Beings.

For every order placed, we also plant a tree, contributing to long-term environmental restoration.

Keffiyeh / Kufiya

The keffiyeh, also known as a kufiya, is a traditional Palestinian scarf that has grown into a powerful symbol of identity, resistance, and solidarity. While once worn by farmers across the land, it became widely recognised during the 1930s Arab Revolt, when it was adopted as a unifying symbol in the struggle for Palestinian freedom.

Its patterns are often understood to carry meaning, from the fishnet said to reflect the coastal life, to the lines of trade and movement, and the olive leaves representing resilience and connection to the land. (various opinions)

The keffiyeh holds both everyday function and deeper cultural significance. Worn across generations, today it is worn across the world as a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian people, their land, and their continued pursuit of freedom.
