The keffiyeh is a traditional Middle Eastern squared headdress which can come in different colours.
The black and white model has become a symbol of Palestinian resistance and armed struggle in the 1960s after Yasser Arafat adopted it.

In 2007, Urban Outfitters, which was selling the scarves in several colours as "anti-war woven" pieces, pulled them from stores after it caused a controversy.
After the backlash, Topshop pulled the item from the website.
“Topshop is in the process of removing this style from sale," a spokesperson said.
