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!

It’s lovely!

They are so beautifully made and came so quickly. It IS the genuine Hirbawi article.

Beautiful Work of Textile Art
Lightweight and cool enough to wear in hot, humid weather, and covering enough to keep warm when there are chill winds. I trace the stitching with my fingers and hope for peace for the people of Palestine within our lifetimes.

A Moral Shield
Comfort, love, and care aside, my favorite part of the Kufiya is how it deters those whose entire world views are diametrically opposed to my own. The Kufiya is a moral shield, could not be happier!

I love my Hirbawee kufiya!
I am thrilled with my Hirbawi Kufiya and actually inspired a man on a Zoom meeting to get one. I want to show my solidarity with Palestine, and this is one way I can do it.

The red is beautiful
Excellent quality. I can’t recommend this kufiya enough to support Palestine and the Palestinian people. The red is the type of red that goes with everything- I’ve had so many compliments

Gorgeous
Stunning. Excellent quality. I can’t recommend this kufiya enough to support Palestine, as an Irish person the green works beautifully to link the Irish and the Palestinian people.
