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!

Black and White Hirbawi Kufiya
This thing is the real deal. The craftsmanship, build quality, attention to detail is top tier. First thing I noticed is how soft it is, also it's the perfect size. The tag on it is of high quality as well and not flimsy or prone to ripping and scratching at you. I'll never but another one from anywhere else ever again. I was also impressed with how the ends of the material is tied. If you have a chance at getting one, pull the trigger as soon as they are available.

Practical, Beautiful, And Soft
Well made and soft, I love how versatile it is. I am happy to support a local business located in Palestine. Heads up, there is some polyester in the fibers, but that should make it a little tougher than 100% cotton. The only con with polyester is I'll need to be extra careful while working with heat or flame.

I can tell I'm going to wear this for many years. Really high quality stitching and high thread count weave.

Excellent quality
Unbelievably smooth and silky fabric, yet feels so durable and strong! I was waiting for nearly two years for these to be back in stock and I managed to be on the site at just the right time. I'm honoured to be able to support Hirbawi and the people of Palestine with this beautifully made kufiya. Free Palestine!

Beautiful, versatile piece
I feel so lucky to have been able to purchase this when I know they are sold out! I get compliments on wearing it all the time, and have worn it as a scarf, a shawl, a blanket, a way to keep the rain away from my face, and even a blanket on the grass. It's beautiful and I hope you can make many more for many people.

LOVE it!
I absolutely LOVE my keffiyeh! It's soft and beautifully woven. I got it as a small way to support the Palestinians in Gaza, and am very proud to own one.
