Palestine’s last authentic Keffiyeh factory stands strong

The occupied West Bank city of Hebron is home to the last remaining factory of authentic Palestinian keffiyehs inside Palestine. The historic Hirbawi factory, founded in 1961, has withstood occupation, economic hardship and a flood of cheap imports to keep a vital piece of Palestinian heritage alive - the keffiyeh. Known globally for its iconic black-and-white pattern, the keffiyeh was once a staple across the Levant. Traditionally worn by farmers for sun and dust protection, it has since become a symbol of Palestinian resistance and solidarity. Jehan Al Farra explains.
