The design of this Kufiya is inspired by the city of Yafa (Jaffa) located at the Mediterranean Sea. The name Yafa means beauty in Canaanite and the charm of the city makes you fall in love with it immediately – exactly like this Kufiya. The deep blue zig-zag pattern on a black background represents the gentle waves of the sea during the warm summer nights of Yafa.
The Classic Black & White Kufiya with Red & Black Tatreez border is crafted in Nablus, Palestine. It combines the traditional B&W kufiya with traditional embroidery.

West Bank designed and printed Freedom t-shirts. Inspired by the highly celebrated escape by Palestinian prisoners from an Israeli jail by digging their way out using a spoon, the design celebrates Palestinian ingenuity and steadfastness (sumud). The back has the simple message: “Free Palestine”.
The Shami Kufiya is mainly used in Syria and other Arabic countries. However the ongoing war in Syria destroyed most Kufiya factories there. Today you can buy this very special design, made in Palestine. Traditonal designs are in a slightly heavier weave.
