In dry, desert dyes of Orange and White, the city of Jericho (أريحا), an ancient place built upon an oasis by the dead sea, is known to be one of the longest continuously inhabited cities in the world, and is renowned for its plentiful plantations of flowering palm and orange trees.
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.
