Keffiyeh Scarves: Fashion Statement or Political Statement?

This is not a very recent controversy, but I decided to post it because I wanted to see what you all thought. Do you or would you wear this kind of a scarf, even after taking into consideration the statement they make? In my opinion, its a piece of cloth; I wear what I want. See what you think...

Keffiyeh: a traditional headdress for Arab men made of a square of cloth, usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head.



In the early 2000s, keffiyehs were very popular among youths in Tokyo, who wore them with camouflage clothing. The trend recurred in the mid-2000s in the United State, Europe, Canada and Australia when the keffiyeh became popular as a fashion accessory, usually worn as a scarf around the neck by hipsters. They were sold at Urban Outfitters and TopShop. Urban Outfitters turned the keffiyehs into a youth trend a few years ago and marketed them as “anti-war scarves.”


In 2007 Urban Outfitters stopped selling keffiyehs after a pro-Israel activist complained about the items. A statement was issued that "the company had not intended to imply any sympathy for or support of terrorists or terrorism in selling the keffiyehs and was pulling them”.

Thoughts? Personally, I like my green one and wear it all the time. I don't really care what people think, I choose to wear it!


Thanks, Much Love!
