Freedom & Sovereignty

From the scent of heroic ancestors to the whispers of a storied past, the Black & White Kufiya or Keffiyeh remains the most powerful symbol of Palestine’s heritage and its enduring legacy.

Worn by Palestinian men and women of all backgrounds, the Kufiya became the emblem of Palestinian nationalism during the 1930s Arab Revolt against British colonial rule. Its significance reached a defining moment in 1938, when the leaders of the revolt decreed that the people of Palestinian cities replace their traditional tarbush hats with the Kufiya.

This deliberate act aimed to unite the nation under a common symbol and allowed the rebels to blend with the masses as they entered the cities, uniting their struggle for independence.

Today, this iconic symbol of Palestinian identity is often imported from distant lands, with foreign manufacturers dominating the market. As the scarf's popularity grew in the 2000s, the production of the Kufiya was shifted abroad, pushing Palestinian artisans out of their own craft. Yet, despite these challenges, the true spirit of the Kufiya® Factory lives on, as it remains an enduring emblem of Palestinian pride, resistance, and unity.

The Black & White Kufiya is not merely a scarf, it is a piece of history, a tangible link to the Palestinian struggle, and a powerful expression of the indomitable spirit of a people.
