The Makateeb (مكاتيب, meaning “messages”) pattern originated in Gaza in the late 1800s. It was traditionally used to encode personal stories, emotions and symbols into geometric form — a textile language created to carry and share messages.
The SEP Artists chose this pattern for its meaning, and then they made it their own: many of the embroidered “messages” are intentionally left incomplete — a quiet, powerful gesture in memory of the children lost since October 7th.
Crafted by hand. Signed by its Artist. A keffiyeh woven with heritage, meaning and presence.
Made in Pakistan and hand-embroidered by the SEP Artists in Jerash camp, Jordan.
I wear this with pride and am delighted with the quality.

Buy This ASAP!
Every item that I’ve purchased from SEP is beautiful with expert craftsmanship, quality materials, attention to detail, and truly a work of art and this scarf is no exception. Its vibrant red contrast stitching is beautiful and eye-catching and adds true life to the traditional keffiyeh. If you’re on the fence about this product or any others, please do yourself a favor and buy the item! The customer service team at Sep is also incredible and they go above and beyond to ensure they can locate an item for you. I love this brand and all of the numerous products I’ve purchased! I’m stopped every time I am wearing a Sep piece and asked about where someone can purchase same!
