The Keffiyeh Modal Hijab – A Statement of Heritage & Modest Elegance

The Keffiyeh Modal Hijab – A Statement of Heritage & Modest Elegance

Few fabrics carry as much cultural significance as the keffiyeh. Traditionally worn as a symbol of resilience and solidarity, the keffiyeh scarf has now found its place in modest fashion — and at Hijabaan, we’ve reimagined it in our signature soft, breathable modal fabric.


Why Keffiyeh?

The checkered pattern of the keffiyeh holds deep meaning — especially within Palestinian heritage. Today, it stands for pride, strength, and identity. When worn as a hijab, it becomes more than a fashion piece — it’s a statement.


A Softer, Everyday Version

Unlike heavy traditional fabrics, our Keffiyeh Modal Hijabs are made from ultra-soft modal material, known for its lightweight feel and fluid drape. It's perfect for daily wear, prayer, or adding meaning to any outfit — without compromising comfort.


Available in 3 Powerful Colours

Each colour brings its own feel and versatility:

🖤 Black Keffiyeh Hijab – Bold, powerful, and easy to match with abayas or neutral outfits.

🤍 White Keffiyeh Hijab – Clean, pure, and reflective. Ideal for pairing with earth tones or summer dresses.

🤎 Brown Keffiyeh Hijab – Warm, grounding, and understated. Pairs beautifully with natural fabrics and modest layers.

Styling Ideas

  • Wear with a plain abaya to make the pattern stand out

  • Pair with a satin or jersey hijab cap for non-slip styling

  • Use as a symbol of solidarity at protests or Palestine awareness events

  • Accessorize with minimal pins to let the checkered detail speak for itself
