Akka Hirbawi® Kufiya
$50.00
The ancient harbour of Akka (عكا, “Acre”) has bared more than just the crashing of waves. Sought after by empires spanning three continents, the radiant pattern of the kufiya speaks to the vivid beauty of a town that was the cultural gateway between Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, and yet still keeps its indigenous Palestinian heritage to this day. The Akka kufiya is an effort to capture the vibrant spirit of this lively Mediterranean city.
Handmade in Palestine.

ABOUT HIRBAWI®
Since 1961, the Hirbawi® factory has preserved the authentic Palestinian Kufiya, supporting local artisans and ethical trade while safeguarding a powerful symbol of cultural identity and resilience.
The Keffiyeh — or “Kufiya,” as it’s called in Palestine — remains a powerful symbol of resistance, resilience, and freedom. Each Hirbawi Keffiyeh is meticulously handcrafted using a time-honored cross-stitch weaving technique passed down through generations. Made with two layers — the base and the intricate “flower” (وردة) pattern — it combines tradition with functionality: keeping you cool under the sun, protecting against dust and wind, and wicking away moisture with ease. Today, the Keffiyeh continues to evolve, available in a range of colors and patterns inspired by Palestinian heritage, historic landmarks, and the timeless designs that have come to represent a nation’s enduring spirit.
