The Nablus Hirbawi® Kufiya captures the timeless elegance of one of Palestine’s most vibrant cultural centers. Known for its eloquent people, warm hospitality, and deep-rooted traditions, Nablus has long been a hub of Palestinian trade, cuisine, and craft.

Woven in soft shades of dark and light grey, this authentic Palestinian keffiyeh, also called a shemagh or kufiya, honors the resilient spirit of a city that continues to flourish despite borders, barriers, and occupation. A tribute to Nablus’s enduring creativity and sophistication, this traditional scarf is a connection to living heritage.

Each Nablus Keffiyeh is made in our Hebron factory using a time-tested cotton and polyester blend, designed for comfort, durability, and daily wear. The light grey tones with subtle dark grey patterns make it a versatile shemagh that pairs easily with any outfit.

Due to the challenges of producing in Palestine under occupation, small imperfections may be present. These are not flaws but signs of authenticity. Your purchase supports Palestinian artisans and helps preserve the refined craftsmanship that Nablus is known for, from its famous soap and sweets to the enduring art of keffiyeh weaving.
