Product Details for Keffiyeh - Red & White Scarf from Damascus, Syria

It is said that the distinctive woven check pattern of the keffiyeh originated in an ancient Mesopotamian representation of either fishing nets or ears of grain.  From rap stars to movie stars, from LA to Tokyo you can spot this trend.

The keffiyeh (also known as a hattah, ghutrah, mashadah or shmagh) was worn in the desert countries of the Arab world by men & women for centuries to protect against the sun, wind and sands of the deserts.

You can roll it, twist it and wear it as a neck scarf.  Folded into a triangle you can drape it over a coat, wear it as a shawl or around your waist as a ‘hipster’ scarf.  It’s urban chic today.  From hip-hop to collegiate, from casual to edgy evening wear, it’s a fun, fabulous must have fashion accessory. 

Made in Damascus Syria in traditional woven red and white pattern, all cotton, a generous 48 inches square with white tassel border on two sides & large knotted tassels on each corner.
