Kufiyas for All
Working with the manufacturer, we priced this classic red kufiya to be accessible to all.
Anyone can wear a kufiya (also spelled keffiyeh) 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.
About the Manufacturer
The Nablus Textile Company is one of only two scarf-producing factories in Palestine. Founded in 1950 by the al-Nabulsi family, the Nablus Textile Company has been the long-time and highly acclaimed manufacturer of uniforms for school age kids in Nablus.
The scarves are thick, soft, and made from regionally-sourced fabrics: 65% cotton and 35% polyester. Size: 48" x 48"

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
I ordered one of each of the soaps and gave some to my friends, explaining Palestinian history and struggles to them (which we Americans need to understand). Nice scent. Lasts a long time. The red keffiyeh is lovely. I use it as a winter scarf. It holds the warm air without making me sweat.
