ABOUT HIRBAWI®
Since 1961, the Hirbawi® factory has preserved the authentic Palestinian Kufiya, supporting local artisans and ethical trade while safeguarding a powerful symbol of cultural identity and resilience.
The Keffiyeh — or “Kufiya,” as it’s called in Palestine — remains a powerful symbol of resistance, resilience, and freedom. Each Hirbawi Keffiyeh is meticulously handcrafted using a time-honored cross-stitch weaving technique passed down through generations. Made with two layers — the base and the intricate “flower” (وردة) pattern — it combines tradition with functionality: keeping you cool under the sun, protecting against dust and wind, and wicking away moisture with ease. Today, the Keffiyeh continues to evolve, available in a range of colors and patterns inspired by Palestinian heritage, historic landmarks, and the timeless designs that have come to represent a nation’s enduring spirit.
