Palestinian Keffiyeh | Mar Elias Yellow and Turquoise
The Mar Elias keffiyeh features a bold design with a vibrant yellow base and blue zigzag pattern. Inspired by the historic Mar Elias Monastery, located just south of Jerusalem, this keffiyeh is a tribute to the courage and resilience of the Palestinian people. The monastery, built in the 6th century, is said to stand on the spot where the prophet Elijah/Ilyās sought refuge during his escape from Queen Jezebel.
This keffiyeh not only reflects the rich history of Palestine but also symbolises the ongoing struggle for freedom and justice. The minimalist design captures the strength of those who fight against oppression, making it a powerful piece of cultural heritage that you can wear with pride.
Wear your support for a just world proudly.
Read before buying: We source our keffiyeh from Al-khalil, Hebron. These keffiyehs proudly bear the original Arabic label. Given their handmade nature, some minor variations should be expected—such as slight differences in weaving thickness compared to the images provided. Occasional loose threads may also be present, but these can be easily trimmed without causing any harm to the keffiyeh.
