By Hirbawi®

The Keffiyeh (pronounced “Kufiya” in Palestine) continues to hold deep and symbolic value, and serves as an icon of resistance, struggle and freedom for the Palestinian people. 

The Hirbawi Keffiyeh is handmade using a classic cross-stitching technique honed over generations. The Keffiyeh is traditionally woven on two layers, the “base”, and the “pattern” or “flower” ( وردة) in Arabic. Beyond its unmatched quality, the Keffiyeh maintains its original functionality:

  • Keeping you cool in hot climates under direct sunlight.
  • Effective shielding against dust and fast-blowing winds.
  • Excellent moisture-wicking properties, directing sweat and moisture away from the skin.

The Keffiyeh now comes in a variety of colours and patterns that are evolving alongside Palestinian culture. Today, a wide selection of designs are available, based on historic landmarks, and elements of Palestinian culture, as well as the traditional staple Keffiyeh patterns that are known and loved around the world.

The story

The Uncrowned Queen

Nestled between Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal, the valley of Nablus has been a cradle of Palestinian history and culture for over two millennia. Founded by the Romans in 72 CE as Flavia Neapolis, the city rose on the ancient crossroads of trade, linking the Mediterranean coast with the Jordan Valley. Over centuries, it flourished under Islamic, Crusader, Ottoman, and Arab rule, each leaving its mark on the city’s stone alleyways and domed markets.

Known as “the uncrowned queen of Palestine,” Nablus has long been famed for its bustling souks, fragrant with spices, olive oil, and soap made from local olives—a craft perfected here for centuries. Sweet shops brim with knafeh nabulsieh, the golden, syrup-soaked dessert that has become a symbol of the city’s hospitality. In its old quarters, stone arches shelter centuries-old mosques, churches, and Samaritan synagogues, reflecting a deep-rooted tradition of coexistence.

Nablus has endured earthquakes, invasions, and political upheavals, yet it remains a center of learning, trade, and cultural pride. Its people carry forward traditions in embroidery, storytelling, and music, preserving a heritage as rich as the fertile lands surrounding it. For Palestinians, Nablus is more than a city—it is a living testament to resilience, continuity, and the beauty of rootedness in one’s homeland.
