The Handala Tote
Introducing the Handala Tote, a powerful symbol of resistance and resilience. This tote features the iconic figure of Handala, a representation of Palestinian struggle and hope, beautifully printed on the front. The intricate design is complemented by traditional Palestinian patterns, creating a bold and meaningful statement piece.
Handala, created by Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali in the late 1960s, is a symbol of Palestinian resistance and steadfastness. Depicted as a barefoot 10-year-old boy with his back turned, Handala represents the loss of innocence and the struggle for justice after the displacement of Palestinians. His age reflects Naji’s own experience of becoming a refugee at 10, while his posture symbolizes defiance and protest against injustice.
Handala’s simplicity and symbolism have made him an enduring icon of resistance, representing the Palestinian fight for freedom and the right of return. Though Naji al-Ali was assassinated in 1987, Handala remains a powerful figure of hope and resilience for Palestinians and oppressed people worldwide.
