€35,00 Sold out

Our Shams Hirbawi® Kufiya pays homage to the radiant sun that blesses the land of Palestine. In Arabic, shams means “sun,” symbolizing the warmth and vitality that shine upon this remarkable land. With approximately 3390 hours of sunshine per year, Palestine’s abundant sunlight has nurtured one of the earliest human civilizations and continues to inspire its resilient people. We hope that our Shams Keffiyeh brings you the warmth and blessings of the Palestinian sun. Experience the vibrant energy and timeless beauty of this land with every wear, proudly made with authenticity and tradition.
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

A Shining Light

The sun has long been a symbol of freedom in Palestinian culture, especially in light of the thousands of Palestinian prisoners unfairly detained for opposing Israeli apartheid. This kufiya is dedicated to their unwavering will to see the sun rise again. Their resilience inspires all Palestinians to continue striving for freedom and a life of dignity.
