Let me tell you a little bit about where keffiyeh came from
Keffiyeh's fame and attention in the fashion world is largely attributed to a 1974 address to the United Nations General Assembly by the Palestine Liberation Organization (Fatah) and its leader Yasser Arafat. However, the cloth has a long history in the Middle East - it was used as a headscarf for farmers and Bedouins in the Sharm region, Iraq and the Peninsula.
In the pre-Islamic period (the age of savagery) and even earlier, Muslims began to wear elaborate clothing and turbans. With the advent of the Islamic era, its religious laws prescribed cleanliness and purity in the body and soul, calling on people to observe the importance of cleanliness and beauty. "Allah is beautiful and pure, and He hates shame and pride." Therefore, the headscarf is considered to be a cultural and ideological embodiment of purity, and this phenomenon is fully expressed in people's clothing and appearance.
For centuries, the hijab has been a prominent part of Arab and Muslim history. Considering the different atmosphere and conditions, each hijab will meet the needs of each Muslim. Although there are different ways of mixing and folding (rolling up) turbans, there are no strict rules about the colors and forms that are specific to them.
When it comes to Keffieh, historians say it is not a native Arabic word. For example, the historian Reinhardt Pieter Anne Dodds in his Dictionary of Names of Arabic Dress, published in 1845, maintains that the word Keffiyeh was introduced from Latin and is derived from the Italian kefiah or Spanish Kufiyya or French keffieh and the Portuguese kaffiyah.
Perhaps the most detailed explanation of Keffiyeh was given by Max von Oppenheim in the 1890s, who said: "The national headdress of the Arab Bedouin is the Keffiyeh or kuffeye, which is a cotton or silk fabric of about one square meter, folded into a triangle and worn on the head so that the two ends hang over the sides and the third end is on the back, and it is held in place by a "Agal" made of cashmere wrapped around the head twice".
In Palestine, the Keffiyeh played an important role in the popular Palestinian uprising during the British mandate of 1936-39. In the early days of the uprising, it helped soldiers hide their identities, making it easier for them to escape. A subsequent call by the leaders of the revolution for all Palestinians to wear kufiya produced rapid change and sparked a flurry of press.
The keffiyeh, the traditional headwear of the Bedouin people, has become a national symbol for Palestinians, and keffiyeh in various colors are mass-produced in Chinese factories.
