World Kufiyyeh Day — Woven with Resistance

May 11 is World Kufiyyeh Day — a day to honor not just a piece of cloth, but a living symbol of resistance, dignity, and Palestinian identity.

For over 100 years, the black-and-white kufiyyeh has carried our story. Worn by farmers, freedom fighters, poets, and protestors, the kufiyyeh represents the land, the struggle, and the unbroken thread of Palestinian existence.

🧵 Woven in Nablus — The Factory That Came Back to Life

This year, we’re not just remembering the symbol — we’re honoring the hands that make it.

The Nablus Textile Factory, first opened in 1951, was forced to shut down in 1987 under the pressure of occupation and economic strangulation. For decades, its looms sat silent. But in early 2024, something incredible happened: the factory reopened. Old machines were repaired, skilled hands returned, and a new generation joined in.

Every kufiyyeh we sell this week was woven in Nablus by Palestinian workers reclaiming their right to produce, create, and survive.

A Symbol of Resistance, Identity, and Unity

The kufiyyeh is not just fashion. It’s not a trend. It’s a national symbol — a flag when we were banned from having one. A shield for our farmers. A statement at every protest. A reminder that we are still here.

Honoring Palestinian Mothers — The Heart of Resistance

This weekend also marks Mother’s Day, and we can’t talk about resistance without honoring the Palestinian mother — the most valuable soul in our homes and movements. Whether raising children under siege, waiting for sons from prison, or holding communities together through unimaginable grief, the Palestinian mother embodies strength, grace, and the unshakable will to survive. She is the backbone of every story we tell and the spirit woven into every kufiyyeh.

100% of Profits Go to Gaza

This World Kufiyyeh Day, 100% of profits from our kufiyyeh sales will go to families in Gaza — people under siege, trying to survive with dignity.

When you wear this kufiyyeh, you’re wearing a story, a factory’s rebirth, and a people’s refusal to disappear.
