The Hirbawi Kufiya (kuffiyeh) is the only kufiya to be authentically made in Palestine. Yasser Hirbawi opened his historic factory in 1961, which has supplied original Palestinian Kufiya's (or kuffiyeh) all over the world for the last 60 years.
The Black & White Kufiya (kuffiyeh) is the most traditional out of all. Traditionally worn by rural farmers, the Black & White Kufiya has now become a symbol of Palestine.
Each Kufiya headdress is handmade using a specific cross-stitching technique developed over decades. Only a handful of people still know these time-honoured techniques that are honed over many generations.
The kufiya is traditionally woven on two layers, the “base”, and the “pattern” or “flower” ( وردة) in Arabic.
