Abu Mohammad Hirbawi, one of the Hirbawi brothers, stumbled upon an image featuring one of his traditional black-and-white Kufiyas while going through a series of old film negatives. In this negative strip, what was originally white appeared black, and what was black appeared white. This encounter with the inverted colors sparked Abu Mohammad’s imagination, inspiring him to create an inverted keffiyeh design. Combining his craftsmanship and creative vision, he immediately sat down at his machine and brought to life a remarkable Kufiya with a black body and a striking white pattern.

Today, the inverted black and white keffiyeh, crafted with pride in Palestine by the last and only Kufiya factory, embodies the essence of Palestinian identity. It offers a distinctive and captivating variation of the traditional Kufiya, infusing a sense of novelty and visual intrigue.
