Limited Edition

Limited edition olive colored kufiya, produced by hand loomers in Khalil, Palestine. These are soft, finely crafted scarves.

New and limited stock arrived September 26th. The green threads for this kufiya are produced in Syria and have been very difficult to transport to Nablus for looming.

Kufiyas for All

Anyone can wear a kufiya to show their solidarity with the Palestinian people. As a symbol of steadfastness and Palestinian resistance, the kufiya dates back nearly a century to British occupation.

An Iconic Design

The kufiya's design represents Palestinians' connection to their land. It is embroidered with three patterns:

• Sailors' fishnets in the Mediterranean Sea

• Leaves of ancient, resilient olive trees

• Bold lines representing historic trade routes passing through the Crossroads region, crucial for cultural and economic exchange between continents

In Awe.

I'm not sure what I was expecting. Maybe it's the enormity of how intensely meaningful the keffiyeh has always been and now become, but I felt really overwhelmed with how beautiful this woven fabric was. It's much bigger than I thought it was going to be, as well. Roughly 40 by 40 inches. I think it's the coolest thing that someone skillfully made this. Thank you.
