Derefshe Kaviani Flag

4x4 ft

The Derafsh Kaviani, also known as the Standard of Kaveh, is regarded by many as the original flag of Iran, a legendary symbol of resistance, unity, and Persian identity. Often associated with the Sasanian Empire, the banner carries a legacy far deeper than history books alone can explain.

Rooted in the story of Kaveh the Blacksmith, the Derafsh Kaviani became a symbol of the Iranian people rising against tyranny and evil. Across generations, it has remained an emblem of strength, freedom, and cultural pride for Iranians around the world.

This Xodafez x Derafsh Kaviani piece is Ryan’s contribution to modern Persian design: blending ancient Iranian symbolism with contemporary streetwear. The design has resonated deeply within the community, with some supporters even tattooing the artwork onto themselves as a permanent tribute to Persian heritage.

This collection is for those who understand the meaning behind the symbol. For Iranians who want to preserve, uplift, and celebrate Iranian legacy through art, culture, and identity.
