About Us
As two brothers from Palestine, we take great pride in our home country and want to share our love for it with the wider world.
One way we are able to do this is by selling authentic Palestinian products, which is why we decided to open several websites that allow us to sell these goods that support everyday people working in Palestine.
Shemagh.org is one example of this, with the website having been founded to help one of the last surviving factories in Palestine manufacturing authentic the Palestinian shemagh – a popular Middle Eastern headdress.
About the Palestinian Shemagh
The shemagh is a traditional Middle Eastern headdress that is goes by various names throughout the world, with many knowing it as a keffiyeh. While typically worn by Arabs in the Middle East to provide protection from the sun, dust, and sand, the shemagh has become a very popular fashion accessory across the globe that is worn by millions of people from all walks of life.
Originally a popular headdress for Palestinian farmers, it would go on to become a symbol of national pride in Palestine, with the iconic black and white shemagh being worn by Yasser Arafat.
Made from a piece of cotton cloth (or similar fabrics) with a distinct woven pattern, the shemagh is a versatile garment that can be worn in many ways. Whether tying it around the head, face, neck or a combination of each, the shemagh can serve countless functions while also looking very stylish!
Not only does it offer protection from dust and sand, which is ideal for anyone staying in arid climates, but it can also shield you from extreme hots by keeping your skin cool while allowing heat to be retained during extreme colds.
Why Choose Our Shemagh?
As their popularity increased in previous decades, many manufacturers throughout the world started producing their own replica shemagh products. Unfortunately, these are often cheaply made and do not carry the authenticity of those produced in the Middle East.
Many now opt to buy inexpensive but low quality shemaghs from Chinese manufacturers. While they may appear much the same, the overall quality is always much lower, with poorer materials used that often shorten the lifespan on the product.
Our authentic Palestinian shemaghs are produced at the Al Herbawi factory in Al Khalil, Palestine and are shipped directly from the country. This is the only factory in Palestine that continues to manufacture the Shemagh, making it a very noteworthy product that you anyone will be proud to own.
They are available in the traditional shemagh colours, with a black and white, and a red and white option both sold, with each one measuring 120cm x 120cm.
Shemaghs purchased from our website are of the highest quality. Not only are they 100% cotton, they are fabricated thread after thread to weave the pattern into the material, rather than simply printing it like cheap replicas sold elsewhere.
The Al Herbawi factory is home to tens of workers whose sole income comes from selling shemaghs, so your money goes directly towards supporting these people and their families.
Additionally, you are showcasing solidarity with Palestine. The shemagh is a national symbol of pride, freedom, and dignity in our country, and we could not be happier to have individuals from throughout the world showing their support for Palestine.
Plus, we offer very affordable rates and low shipping fees!
All orders are shipped directly from Palestine with a tracking code.
