Palestinian Keffiyeh with Tatreez Border

Our Traditional Palestinian Keffiyeh features the classic woven patterns that have symbolized Palestinian identity, connection to the land, and resilience for generations.

To make this piece truly unique, artists living in the Arroub Refugee Camp in Bethlehem, Palestine, have hand-embroidered a stunning, vibrant Tatreez border along the edges. This intricate floral motif in deep reds and greens breathes new life into the traditional fabric, transforming a classic symbol into a wearable work of art that celebrates the beauty of Palestinian heritage.

Whether you wear it traditionally, style it as a scarf, or drape it in your home, this piece connects you directly to the hands that made it. Every purchase provides vital, fair-wage income to artisan women and their families in Bethlehem, supporting the preservation of this historic craft.
