More details

This keffiyeh pays homage to the ancient harbour city of Akka (عكا), long a meeting point between land and sea, and a gateway between regions and cultures. Shaped by centuries of movement, trade, and exchange, the city holds a layered history while remaining deeply rooted in its Palestinian identity.

The pattern reflects this sense of rhythm and continuity, echoing both the waves that meet its shores and the resilience of a place that has endured through time. It is a design that carries both energy and grounding, shaped by a landscape that is constantly in motion yet firmly held.

Sourced from Al-Khalil (Hebron), West Bank, Palestine, where one of two remaining keffiyeh factories in the region continues to produce authentic Palestinian keffiyehs, each piece supports the continuation of a craft that has endured despite growing pressure from imitation and mass production.

Given their handmade nature, slight variations in weave, tassels, and pattern are to be expected, each one carrying the mark of the hands and process behind its making.

Care
We recommend hand washing, as the fabric and tassels are delicate. Machine washing may damage the finish.
If needed, gently spot clean the marked area. The mark may or may not fade with washing.
The tassels are stitched with a continuous thread. If any loose threads appear, avoid pulling them and instead secure them with a stitch to prevent damage.
Giving back

By supporting this keffiyeh, you are directly contributing to one of the last two remaining factories in the region still producing authentic Palestinian keffiyehs, helping sustain livelihoods and preserve a craft that continues under ongoing occupation and erasure.

A portion of proceeds is shared with marginalised communities through our ongoing partnership with human rights organisation Restless Beings.

For every order placed, we also plant a tree, contributing to long-term environmental restoration.

Keffiyeh / Kufiya

The keffiyeh, also known as a kufiya, is a traditional Palestinian scarf that has grown into a powerful symbol of identity, resistance, and solidarity. While once worn by farmers across the land, it became widely recognised during the 1930s Arab Revolt, when it was adopted as a unifying symbol in the struggle for Palestinian freedom.

Its patterns are often understood to carry meaning, from the fishnet said to reflect the coastal life, to the lines of trade and movement, and the olive leaves representing resilience and connection to the land. (various opinions)

The keffiyeh holds both everyday function and deeper cultural significance. Worn across generations, today it is worn across the world as a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian people, their land, and their continued pursuit of freedom.
