Abu Mohammad Hirbawi, one of the Hirbawi brothers, stumbled upon an image featuring one of his traditional black and white Kufiyas while going through a series of old film negatives. In this negative strip, what was originally white appeared black, and what was black appeared white. This encounter with the inverted colors sparked Abu Mohammad’s imagination, inspiring him to create an inverted Keffiyeh design. Combining his craftsmanship and creative vision, he immediately sat down at his machine and brought to life a remarkable Kufiya with a black body and a striking white pattern.
Today, the inverted black and white Keffiyeh, crafted with pride in Palestine by the last and only Kufiya factory, embodies the essence of Palestinian identity. It offers a distinctive and captivating variation of the traditional Kufiya, infusing a sense of novelty and visual intrigue.

The Keffiyeh (pronounced “Kufiya” in Palestine) continues to hold deep and symbolic value, and serves as an icon of resistance, struggle and freedom for the Palestinian people.
The Hirbawi Keffiyeh is handmade using a classic cross-stitching technique honed over generations. The Keffiyeh is traditionally woven on two layers, the “base”, and the “pattern” or “flower” ( وردة) in Arabic. Beyond its unmatched quality, the Keffiyeh maintains its original functionality:
The Keffiyeh now comes in a variety of colours and patterns that are evolving alongside Palestinian culture. Today, a wide selection of designs are available, based on historic landmarks, and elements of Palestinian culture, as well as the traditional staple Keffiyeh patterns that are known and loved around the world.
The beauty of the kufiya is that you can wear it however and wherever you want. If you are interested in ways to wear your kufiya, check out our “how to wear” video.
The kufiya can be worn by anyone in support of the Palestinian cause. In fact, Palestinians love to see people from around the world expressing support through this meaningful fabric. When you choose to wear a Kufiya made in Palestine, it means you are aware of its cultural significance and are benefiting its original community. Whereas, wearing an imitation just for fashion, without any connection to its roots, can be considered cultural appropriation.
Such threads may occur because during production, the ends of the pattern are trimmed by hand by one of our artisans. Small ends of the threads may remain, but these can be easily picked and removed, or will naturally fall off when the kufiya is washed.
Due to high demand, we allow one kufiya per order. However, you are welcome to add non-kufiya items to your order from the Palestinian artisans we support and promote, saving on shipping costs. See more Palestinian brands here.
