Bullet proof Keffiya

To Lebanese architect Salim al-Kadi,  the keffiya“is transformative and speaks to different geographies, different people and different issues. Depending on how it is worn, it can be a symbol of resistance and protest, or a disguise.

[Today] there is no demonstration anywhere in the world where there isn’t at least one person wearing a kufiya. But it also indicates the strength and power of the downtrodden. Like a Wonder Woman bracelet for Arabs, it feels like it protects.” 

The K29 Keffiyeh 001 is made from para-aramid synthetic fibre, also known as Kevlar, which is a material used in body armour such as bulletproof vests that help guard the wearer against certain weapons.
