Nazareth (الناصرة) is the largest Palestinian Arab city inside historic Palestine and one of the holiest Christian cities in the world. Surrounded by rolling hills and known for its welcoming people and beloved cuisine, Nazareth has always been a crossroads of cultures and traditions. Inspired by the city’s rich heritage, vibrant life, and enduring charm, we created the Nazareth Hirbawi® Kufiya—an authentic Palestinian keffiyeh in shades of blue on a denim-colored background. This traditional shemagh is more than just an accessory. It carries the story of a city shaped by resilience, faith, and the hope of generations. Wearing it is a way to carry a piece of Nazareth’s living history and connect with the culture of Palestine. 

Every Nazareth Hirbawi Kufiya is woven in our factory in Palestine on vintage machines using a special blend of about 85% cotton and high-quality polyester. This blend ensures the strength needed for our old looms and makes each kufiya practical for everyday wear—it dries quickly and rarely needs ironing. Each kufiya is produced under challenging conditions, so small imperfections are a natural part of its unique character, reflecting both traditional craftsmanship and the realities of making kufiyas in Palestine. Whether you wear it to celebrate heritage, as a statement of solidarity, or simply as a stylish accessory, your kufiya supports Palestinian artisans and helps keep our traditions alive.
