The men's keffiyeh, an accessory between fashion and tradition

However, the headdress quickly spread to men. Today, they proudly wear their traditional keffiyeh! Made from cotton, this headgear could be used to protect against the sun, but also to conceal part of the face. Particularly useful in sandstorms. It is traditionally black and white. Nowadays, this type of Arab hat has spread to many countries, sometimes even becoming a symbol!
