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!

Absolutely incredible piece of Palestinian history. Made by the last standing factory making the keffiyeh, i got mine to stand in solidarity with Palestinians in my life and everywhere in their fight for liberation and freedom. Please support Hirbawi before its too late.

Absolutely worth it
The pattens and intricate thread work are so beautiful and I love to wear it out. It makes as a nice cover when it's a bit cool and it's a gorgeous display of Palestinian support.

Simply splendid
Got this colorful one as a gift for my lover. The pattern brings so much joy and pride. An honor to wear the colors of up-rising and power to the people. Free Palestine!

wonderful kufiya, beautifully woven
The craft and care are obvious in each thread, so soft and light. The black and bright blue make such a gorgeous contrast, and it feels to carry the emotions of Yafa, nostalgia of a summer night with the orange blossoms and sea salt carried on the breeze. The black base makes this a bold conversation piece to wear for both radical and formal occasions. Powerful and elegant. Shukran!

My Wonderful Kufiya!
This Kufiya is made of just the right weight of cotton. It's lightweight and breathable. My friend, who is from Nablus in the West Bank, showed me how to wear the Kufiya. That was pretty wonderful.

Love the shade of blue
This is even more beautiful in person. The embroidered pattern is a lovely shade of blue and has a subtle shine to it. It adds a pop of color to any neutral outfit. I love the unmatched quality of Hirbawi kufiyas and cherish any opportunity to support Palestinian livelihoods and show my solidarity.

I love it!
I originally bought my kufiya to show solidarity, but I use it for so much more. I'm a bald woman, and it helps me protect my head from the sun AND feel beautiful. It's very comfortable, soft but sturdy, and looks lovely. In the winter, I'm sure it will keep me warm, too. I adore the pattern, and the color is really versatile! Thank you.
