The Rich History of Keffiyeh
The Palestinian keffiyeh has deep cultural roots. It originated as practical headwear for farmers and fellahin. The scarf protected them from sun and dust. Over time, it became a national symbol of Palestinian identity. Today, people wear it worldwide for solidarity, fashion, and cultural expression. Our authentic keffiyeh honors this important legacy.
