This keffiyeh brings together a white base with red threads, woven into a pattern that feels both bold and balanced. The clarity of the white allows the red to move through the weave with strength, creating a palette that feels striking while remaining grounded within the traditional design.
The contrast is direct and enduring, offering a familiar expression of the keffiyeh while remaining connected to its origins.
Produced in Al-Khalil (Hebron), where one of two remaining keffiyeh factories in the region creates over 200 colour variations, each piece reflects how this design continues to evolve through colour while remaining instantly recognisable.
While the structure stays familiar, these variations allow the keffiyeh to be carried forward across different contexts and communities, holding both tradition and change within the same form.
Each piece supports the continuation of a craft that has endured despite growing pressure from imitation and mass production.
As part of our seconds collection, this keffiyeh may include minor imperfections. Given its handmade nature, slight variations in weave, tassels, and pattern are to be expected, each one carrying the mark of the hands that made it.
Product 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.
Size: Approx. 119 x 199 cm
Colour: white, red
Material: 85% cotton, 15% synthetic

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.
