The Classic Hadab Keffiyeh/ Kufiya

Hadab Tassels: Finished with traditional tassels (fringes) for a classic, high-quality look.

Authentic Texture: Features the classic woven texture that provides warmth in winter and breathable shade in the summer.

Iconic Symbolism: Available in the two most powerful colors of the heritage:

• The Heritage Black: The classic symbol of resilience and identity.

• The Patriot Red: A bold, festive celebration of cultural pride.

Every stitch in the Keffiyeh tells a story of the land:

• The Fishnet: Represents the deep connection between Palestinian sailors and the Mediterranean Sea.

• The Sea Lines: Symbolising the strength and perseverance required to navigate life’s journeys.

• The Olive Leaves: A tribute to the olive trees that are the backbone of the land, representing peace, resilience, and rootedness.

This Keffiyeh is directly sourced from local shops in the Old City of Jerusalem - Palestine. Your purchase supports local traders and helps preserve this iconic symbol of heritage and identity for future generations.

To preserve the intricate weave and the iconic tassels of your keffiyeh, we recommend the following:

• Gentle Hand Wash: Wash in cold or lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, as this can distort the geometric weave.

• Protect the Hadab (Tassels): The hand-knotted tassels are the most delicate part. To avoid tangling, do not wring or twist the fabric.

• Avoid the Machine: If you must use a washing machine, place the keffiyeh in a mesh laundry bag and use a "Delicate" or "Hand Wash" cycle.

• Drying: Air dry only. Lay the keffiyeh flat on a towel to absorb excess moisture, then hang it or lay it flat on a drying rack. High heat from a dryer will shrink the cotton and cause the tassels to frizz.

• Ironing: If the keffiyeh is wrinkled, use a steam iron on a medium setting. For best results, iron the fabric while it is still slightly damp.

• Tassel Maintenance: If the tassels become messy after washing, gently comb them through with your fingers while they are damp.

• Storage: Store your Keffiyeh folded in a dry place. Avoid hanging it by the tassels, as the weight of the fabric can pull them loose over time.

• Perfume/Deodorant: Apply scents before putting on your Keffiyeh to avoid staining the fabric or attracting dust to the fibers.
