Inspired by Bisan (بيسان), this keffiyeh brings together vibrant shades of blue, yellow, green and purple in a palette that reflects the landscape and life once associated with the city. Set where the Jordan Valley meets the Jezreel Valley, Bisan was known for its water springs, green fields, banana plantations, and rich agricultural land.
Before the Nakba, Bisan was a lively Palestinian city, remembered for its bustling railway station, cinema, and agricultural life, including an agricultural school for girls. Its Palestinian population was displaced in 1948, but memories of the city, its landscape, and everyday life have continued across generations.
There is a brightness to this piece that feels fitting for Bisan, where colour carries both the abundance of the land and the memory of a place that remains deeply present within Palestinian history and identity.
Sourced from Al-Khalil (Hebron), West Bank, Palestine, where one of two remaining keffiyeh factories in the region continues to produce authentic Palestinian keffiyehs, each piece supports the continuation of a craft that has endured despite growing pressure from imitation and mass production.
Given its handmade nature, slight variations in weave, tassels, and pattern may occur. These are part of its character, each keffiyeh carrying the mark of the hands and heritage behind it.
Details
Each keffiyeh carries the original Arabic label and occasionally the English. Given their handmade nature, slight variations in weave, stitching, and detail are to be expected, each one reflecting the hands and process behind its making.

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.
