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.
It later became a fashion item which could be purchased in several boutiques in the U.S. and even at mainstream retailers.
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.
