What is a kufi?
A kufi is a small round cap that sits close to the head and has no brim. It has many names. In English people say kufi, kufi hat or kufi cap. In the Gulf it is called a taqiyah, in Turkish takke, and in North Africa chechia. They all mean the same kind of cap. You can wear it with a qamis or djellaba, but just as well with a hoodie or a jacket.
Which fabric?
- Cottonmix: light and airy. For every day and for summer.
- Velvet: soft, with a gentle shine. Nice for festive days such as Eid.
- Wool blend: warmer. For autumn and winter.
- Taqiyah: the Gulf name and style of the round cap, often a little firmer in shape.
Which colour?
White or cream goes with a white qamis. Black, grey, navy or brown goes with a dark qamis, a djellaba or your everyday clothes. Pick a colour that comes back somewhere in your outfit, then it looks calm and tidy.
A kufi as a gift
Because a kufi has no size to guess, it is an easy gift for a husband, father, brother or son. Tick 'Inpakken als cadeau' on the product page and we wrap it for you before we ship it.
Care
Follow the care label. A cottonmix kufi can usually go in the machine at a low temperature. Velvet and wool blend are best washed by hand in cold water. Dry it flat, so it keeps its round shape.

Vragen en antwoorden
What size kufi cap should I buy?
Our kufi caps and taqiyahs are one size and fit most men well, so there is no size to choose. Each product page shows the material and how to wash it. If you have a question about the fit, send us a message by WhatsApp or e-mail before you order.
Can I send a kufi straight to him?
Yes. Fill in his address as the delivery address when you order, in the Netherlands or Belgium. Tick 'Inpakken als cadeau' as well and it arrives wrapped. That works well if he lives in another city or if you want to surprise him.
Is there a gift card?
Yes. You choose the amount and the code arrives by e-mail. He enters the code at checkout, and the amount comes off his order. Then he picks his own kufi, or anything else from the shop, in the colour he likes.
Can I wear a kufi under a hood?
Yes. A kufi sits close to the head, so it fits under the hood of a djellaba or a jacket. In real cold, a wool blend kufi under a hood keeps your head warm. On mild days, a cottonmix kufi on its own is enough.
How long does delivery take?
Within the Netherlands, most parcels arrive one to two working days after they are shipped, inshaAllah. We ship to Belgium as well. If the kufi is a gift for a fixed day, such as Eid, order a week or two before.
