The color blue holds deep symbolic significance in Bethlehem, representing the city's peaceful and sacred nature as the birthplace of Christ. It is closely associated with the unifying figure of the Virgin Mary, a beloved Bethlehemite who holds a significant place in the hearts of its residents, both Muslims and Christians alike. In our Bethlehem-inspired traditional Kufiya, we blend the serene blue with accents of saffron yellow, aubergine, and mint green, capturing the essence of Bethlehem’s vibrant streets. May our Bethlehem Hirbawi® Shemagh transport you to the lively markets of this historic town, lined with shops selling Palestinian jewelry, olive carvings, nuts, spices, and oriental sweets, impressing its visitors and enveloping them in a sense of peace that is deeply rooted in Bethlehem’s rich heritage.

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 House of Bread

Bethlehem is very much the historical sister city of Jerusalem, making its walled-off separation from the capital all the more unnatural. It is now encircled and encroached upon by dozens of Israeli settlements and the Israeli West Bank barrier, which separates both Muslim and Christian communities from their land and livelihoods, and sees a steady exodus from both communities.

Christian families that have lived in Bethlehem for hundreds of years are being forced to leave as land in Bethlehem is seized, and homes bulldozed, for the construction of thousands of new Israeli homes. Land seizures for Israeli settlements have also prevented the construction of a new hospital for the inhabitants of Bethlehem, as well as the barrier separating dozens of Palestinian families from their farmland and Christian communities from their places of worship.

An ancient home to Christian and Muslim families alike, Bethlehem (بيت لحم) today is at the frontline of the Palestinian struggle. It's fertile land and ancient aquifers, encroached by dozens of illegal settlements. It's families, forced to struggle under apartheid, or leave.
