Celebrate the vibrant spirit of Gaza with our authentic and traditional Gaza Hirbawi® Kufiya, a genuine Palestinian keffiyeh scarf proudly made in Palestine. This handmade Palestinian shemagh features a captivating pattern in green, yellow, rose, and bordeaux, creating a dynamic and eye-catching design. The red laces surrounding the vibrant keffiyeh pay tribute to the Gazans’ love for spicy food, where chili is a staple ingredient in their flavorful cuisine. Immerse yourself in the joyful nature of the Gazans as you embrace this unique and meaningful Palestinian kufiya, a symbol of their resilience and zest for life. Despite centuries of bitter contestation by various powers throughout history, Gaza, known as “Gazza Ard el-Izza” (the Glorious City), remains at the forefront of Palestinian heritage. It is here that the Israeli occupation is repeatedly challenged, showcasing the unwavering spirit and determination of its people.

Every Gaza Hirbawi Kufiya is woven in our factory in Palestine on vintage machines using a unique blend of about 85% cotton and high-quality polyester. This blend provides the strength needed for our old looms and makes the kufiya practical for daily wear—it dries quickly and hardly ever needs ironing. Each kufiya is made under the challenging realities of life in Palestine, so small imperfections are part of its journey, reflecting the authentic charm of traditional craftsmanship and the story of producing under occupation. Whether you wear it as a symbol of solidarity, a vibrant accessory, or a meaningful gift, your kufiya supports our artisans and helps preserve Palestinian heritage.
