Keffiyeh


Today I learnt a new word, Keffiyeh. This word replaces 'mexican scarf' and 'bandana scarf'. Although technically speaking they are Arabic. I have long since wanted such an article of clothing but have been advised by a few people 'NO!'.

I quite like the look and as such, went searching today. Rogues in MC has them for $25 .. but a little birdie told me to try Cotton On where a $10 price tag may lie waiting. I went Vic Market and tried my luck there, but nothing. I did however pick up a brown scarf.. $5!!

I think I'll get one.. some people like them, some people dislike them.. but since it's my neck on the line, I'm all for giving it a go.

*EDIT* I have since bought one from Cotton On $10, yet to find 1 person who actually likes them besides myself.

  1. Ok, so here's my honest opinion.

    I think those Keffiyeh's are nice and trendy. Wait, I did.

    Honestly if you would see someone wearing it on its own its very chic, but due to the flood of Keffiyeh's around peoples necks now, I dont really like it anymore. Jessa will get me. Right Jessa?

    I bought a leather jacket last yr before it was so called "in". I hate wearing it now cos everytime I walk around EVERYONE is wearing them.

    Anyhoo .. ill keep talkin to u on msn now HAHA..

  3. These used to be loaded political symbols of solidarity with the Palestinian cause and resistance movement..

    ..until every other person and their dog thought they looked, LIKE, SUPER AWESOME AND CUTE AS!!!! and places like Cotton On started selling them.

    Sighhh.
