Founded in 483 AD, Mar Saba is one of the world’s oldest inhabited monasteries and remains a symbol of spirituality, resilience, and adventure in Palestine.
Every Mar Saba Hirbawi Kufiya is woven in the Hirbawi factory in Palestine on vintage machines. As each kufiya is produced under challenging conditions, small imperfections and variations are a natural part of its character, reflecting both traditional craftsmanship and the realities of making kufiyas in Palestine.
Its background is woven with yellow and black threads, shifting in color from yellowish to khaki to olive green depending on the light.
