In warm hues of orange, black, and white, the Jericho Hirbawi® Kufiya evokes the oasis beauty of one of the world’s oldest cities. Nestled near the Dead Sea, Jericho (أريحا) is rich in heritage, known for its orange groves, palm trees, and timeless resilience.

This handcrafted Palestinian keffiyeh — also called a shemagh or kufiya — reflects the sunlit charm of Jericho’s landscape. Woven at the last remaining keffiyeh factory in Palestine, its vivid pattern tells a story of tradition, nature, and cultural pride passed down through generations.

Woven in our Hirbawi factory in Hebron, each Jericho Shemagh is made using a high-quality cotton-polyester blend, designed to be soft, breathable, and long-lasting. The vibrant colors stand out beautifully while remaining practical for everyday wear — easy to care for, fast-drying, and durable.

Every thread carries the spirit of Jericho’s oasis life. Slight imperfections may appear, bearing witness to traditional methods and the pressures of producing under occupation. Whether worn as a keffiyeh, shemagh, or scarf, this piece helps sustain Palestinian artisans and protect the legacy of a living heritage.
