SS23 SOUVENIR SHOP
JUNE 4TH 2023
Welcome to the AKOG Souvenir Shop, where we proudly continue our tradition of curating extraordinary, handcrafted treasures that pay homage to local cultures while celebrating craftsmanship and their heritage. In this season’s SS23 collection, we invite you to embark on a journey through Jordan.
On this journey, we carefully collected one-of-a-kind, locally made products of which each piece tells its own story and makes up this Souvenir Shop. Discover the artistry of the Bedouins, skilled artisans who have meticulously woven carpets by hand for centuries. Their intricate patterns and meticulous techniques capture the essence of Jordan’s cultural tapestry, paying homage to the rich history and enduring legacy of these nomadic communities. This distinctive carpet will not only adorn your space but also serves as a tribute to the Bedouins’ remarkable craftsmanship and deep connection the Bedouins have with their homeland. Adorn your wall with a camel’s saddle blanket, originally crafted as a protective layer for camel saddles during arduous desert journeys. Now repurposed as a wall carpet, this piece stands as a poignant symbol of Jordan’s nomadic traditions and their deep connection to the breathtaking desert landscapes that have shaped their way of life. Discover the healing properties of our Dead Sea mineral soaps, crafted with the purest elements from the world-renowned Dead Sea. Known for its therapeutic properties, the Dead Sea’s mineral-rich waters have long been cherished for their ability to rejuvenate and nourish the skin. Experience the revitalizing effects of this natural treat and draw from the benefiting resources of this extraordinary sea. Additionally, an assortment of handmade toys, keychains, coasters, and bookmarks makes an appearance, carefully crafted with attention to detail. These playful creations ignite the imagination and remind us that the appreciation for craftsmanship starts from the earliest moments of our lives. Completing this remarkable collection with an AKOG treasure, a custom-made sand flask that captures the essence of Jordan’s desert landscapes. Handcrafted with meticulous care, this piece carries the spirit of the vast, golden dunes and the desert breeze. The AKOG Souvenir Shop discovers a world of artistry, culture, and heartfelt craftsmanship. Each purchase not only brings a cherished memento but also contributes to the empowerment of female entrepreneurs in Jordan by donating all profits to the non-profit organisation Microfund for Women. It provides financial and non-financial services designed to support their businesses and livelihoods while helping them achieve financial Inclusion.
