Making of Abu Dis Hirbawi Kufiya
We know that all of you were very excited about the Hirbawi Al Quds kufiya, so we were about to make some more. And then this beautiful mistake happened. One of our Hirbawi superstars picked and fed the wrong yarn to the machine, and this gorgeous creation started to appear in the loom. Just when we were about to scrap it, we decided against it.
The name Abu Dis, however, is not accidental. Abu Dis is a Palestinian village in Jerusalem Governorate bordering Jerusalem (Al Quds in Arabic). Since there is such a close connection design-wise and considering the intention was to create Al Quds, we named this extraordinary new accident after a locality not far from Jerusalem.
Abu Dis is surrounded by deep valleys and is located on an ancient site. Ruins of buildings were found there, along with grape presses, caves, and cisterns to store rainwater.

But as we refuse all kinds of political attempts to substitute Al Quds (Jerusalem) with the city of Abu Dis, we will not accept it on ourselves to dub this Kufiya with the name Alquds. Instead, we call it Abu Dis. Named after an ancient Palestinian city located close to the city of Jerusalem. It is charming and beautiful, but clearly and in plain sight, Abu Dis is not our Alquds!
Without further ado we present you Hirbawi Abu Dis!

A genuine work of art
Received my passport holder in pristine condition & it's genuinely a work of art & the pictures do not do it justice. The level of craftsmanship is amazing. Special thanks to the Palestinian artisans who put in the work in the midst of Israeli colonization & atrocities. From the river to the sea Palestine will be free.

Beautiful Kufiya Bracelet
The Copper Kufiya Bracelet is sturdy and striking. I loved watching the Youtube video of them being made.
If you made a copper bracelet saying,"From the River to the Sea", I'll bet it would really be a big seller. I know that I would for sure buy one.
May you and your shop stay safe.

Beautiful
I bought this as a gift for my dad’s birthday. I had been eyeing for a while and it was in stock right around his birthday- perfect! He absolutely loves it. It’s beautifully made and the qualities excellent. I love that my gift also supports Hibrawi. I am considering buying wallets for both of my brothers!
