More details

The Beit Sahour kufiya is defined by its warm brown base and black zigzag pattern, reflecting the fertile soil that has long sustained this historic town near Bethlehem. There is a stillness to Beit Sahour, a sense of life lived close to the land, where agriculture, tradition, and community remain deeply intertwined.

Known as the site of the Shepherds’ Field, Beit Sahour holds a significant place in Christian tradition. It is here, according to biblical accounts, that the announcement of the birth of Jesus was first shared with the shepherds, grounding the town in a story that has been carried across generations.

This piece brings together those layers of meaning. The richness of the earth, the rhythm of cultivation, and the quiet weight of history are all held within its design.

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.

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.
