The Palestinian keffiyeh (كوفية) is far more than a scarf. This black model with white patterns embodies the memory, identity, and resistance of a people. During the Great Arab Revolt of 1936–1939, Palestinian fighters wore it to conceal their identities and to express the unity of the people against the British occupation. Soon after, the entire society adopted it as a sign of solidarity, and it became an undeniable symbol of the struggle for freedom.
Over time, it crossed borders. Yasser Arafat made it his distinctive mark, wearing it both in the streets of Palestine and at the podium of the United Nations. Today, the keffiyeh remains universally recognized as a symbol of solidarity with Palestine and a refusal of oppression.
This black-and-white keffiyeh is offered by Saad, a Palestinian merchant from the Old City of Jerusalem, who continues to transmit this essential symbol of Palestinian culture.
Please note that there may be slight variations compared to the photo. Measuring approximately 122 × 122 cm, it can be worn daily, gifted as a sign of support, or used as a meaningful decorative piece.
Wearing this keffiyeh is much more than adopting an accessory: it is connecting yourself to a history of resistance and affirming your solidarity with Palestine.

Sa’ad is one of eight siblings who all grew up as orphans. Raised by his older brothers, they overcame life’s hardships together, starting from nothing and gradually managing to buy two shops in Jerusalem’s Old City. Today, Sa’ad works in one of these family-owned stores, carrying on the dream and determination of his brothers.
Born, raised, and still living in the Old City of Jerusalem, Sa’ad has an endless love for its historic and spiritual streets. In his youth, during the time of the First Intifada, like many Palestinians, he was deeply involved in political activism for his people’s freedom. This commitment led to multiple imprisonments and prevented him from completing his education.
Despite the challenges, Sa’ad embodies the resilience and dignity of Jerusalem’s residents, welcoming everyone who steps into his shop and sharing with them the true soul of his beloved city.
