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!

12 Years in the Field
I have had this one for 12 years now, It was a gift from some very special people. It has traveled around the US and been to more protest and actions that I can count. This thing has been put through the ultimate test for sure. It might not prevent tear gas irritation, but this one has a much thicker weave and it provides enough relief and breathing cover to get you out of danger before its a problem. Ive got a nice burn hole from a flash bang but it never spread and ran past the initial hole. This thing has served me well and is ready to retire, waiting on that next drop for sure. I have snagged it on so much, been beaten up you name it so its got some loose threads and rough spots. I was wondering if there was a way to get it repaired before I hang it up some where adn would love to have it restored to its full glory, is there such a service that you offer?

Worth the wait!!
I have been trying for over a year to be able to purchase a Hirbawi Kufiya. I never seemed to see the email when they had them available. Finally, I have my scarf and I love it! Well, made attention to detail and best of all made in Hebron in the West Bank of Palestine. This is my small part in trying to support the people of Palestine. Thank you Hirbawi!

Beautifully made
I waited months to order one and will be ordering another one as this one is all white and I’m a little scared to stain it. It is beautiful and the details are so hice. I like that iris light weight. Regardless of how long it took me to be able to order with was understandable once I placed the order it shipped fairly quickly.

FALASTEEN FOREVER ❤️
Loved this kufiya while I had it. Wore it during Global March to Gaza, and was dragged out of the sit in when they grabbed my kufiya and dragged me to the parking lot. I gave it to a friend in London on my trip home.
Passing on the love and the struggle.
