Do you know where she bought this scarf?

No, but they're not uncommon over here.

You'll note the comments above about Urban Outfitters who sold the original anti-war scarf. Replaced after the controversy by the trendy Skull Desert Scarf, essentially the anti-war palestinian solidarity scarf with an SS skull.

I thought they quit after that fiasco, but this is still on their UK website, and looks to be what she's wearing, now known as the Lace Print Silk Scarf, redesigned a bit with no skull. I wasn't aware they were selling these in the US, but others do, and the symbolism is clear.

The only thing I could say about this scarf is that it’s possible the designer was inspired by a Palestinian kefiyeh & made a western-style scarf that vaguely resembles it. We have no way of knowing that unless we can find out whether it came from a place like Urban Outfitters or not, which is why I asked. Other than that, it looks nothing like a kefiyeh.
