Black keffiyeh: a bold, elegant Palestinian scarf
The black keffiyeh is a striking take on the traditional Palestinian scarf. The dark base gives the pattern real depth, and the lightweight cotton keeps it comfortable whatever the season.
Dignity and strength
Black is one of the colours of the Palestinian flag and a timeless fashion staple. A black keffiyeh is sleek and versatile, and it makes a confident statement of solidarity.
How to wear it
It goes with everything: wear it over a black puffer for a monochrome look, or contrast it with a white t-shirt or a light coat. Looking for another colour? Take a look at our Green Palestinian Keffiyeh.

Frequently asked questions
How do you wear a keffiyeh?
The easiest way is to fold it into a triangle and wrap it loosely around your neck as a scarf. You can also drape it over your shoulders as a shawl or tie it as a head wrap for sun and wind protection.
What does the keffiyeh pattern mean?
The fishnet motif is often linked to the Mediterranean coast and fishermen, the leaves to the olive tree and the bold lines to trade routes. Together they have made the keffiyeh a symbol of Palestinian identity.
