Palestine Keffiyeh
The Palestinian Keffiyeh, also known as Kufiya or Hatta, is a traditional black-and-white checkered cotton scarf that originated as practical wear for farmers and villagers in the Levant, offering protection from the sun, wind, and dust.
Over time, it evolved into a powerful cultural and national symbol of Palestine, representing resilience, unity, and connection to the land.
The intricate woven patterns symbolize fishing nets, olive leaves, and trade routes icons of livelihood and heritage, while its iconic colors distinguish the Palestinian identity, with red-and-white versions appearing in other Arab regions.
Today, beyond its traditional use wrapped around the head or neck, the keffiyeh is worn worldwide as a cultural statement, fashion accessory, and emblem of solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
