Best way to wash your Hirbawi kufiya
So it has been a couple of days, and you are still pretty excited about owning a legendary piece of accessory that we brought you halfway across the world. Hirbawi keffiyehs are perfect, but we, people, not so much. Especially when it comes to putting food and liquids in our mouth, but they end up on the kufiya instead. Whenever that happens to me, I blame black magic and the evil eye. Regardless of the responsible party, now we need to deal with consequences (hey, when was life fair, right?).
Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to be as nice as you possibly can to your beloved Hirbawi kufiya.
- Fill up the sink or a washbasin with cold water.
- Add some detergent and swirl it around to dissolve it in the water.
- Soak your shemagh. You may leave it to soak for a while and come back to it later.
- Move the kufiya around, might do some light rubbing if you have some dirty spots.
- Make sure the area around you is wet, because you are not playing around
- Drain the soapy water from the container and rinse the kufiya a few times with clean water.
- Squeeze the water out of your kufiya but don't apply too much force, especially if you are twisting it
- Fold it in half once or twice and lay it down on a towel.
- Grab one side of the towel and start rolling it up, so all the remaining water gets squeezed out and into the towel.
- At this point, your favorite Hirbawi kufiya might be just damp.
- Now that you've taken the weight of the water out of the kufiya, spread it on a drying rack, ideally horizontally. If all you have is a drying line, you could fold it once or twice and hang it along the middle section to distribute the weight of the keffiyeh equally.
- Take the rest of the day off; that was enough for one day.

Sumud Stories bookmarks
The stories being told deserve something as raw, as strong, and as resilient as those stories to help you hold onto their pages as you absorb their wisdom. These are wonderful for that. I have both the dark brown and the camel colored ones and I absolutely love them. I plan to get more. My niece will be starting college soon and I thought maybe some might be a nice gift for her.

Great for a child!
This is such a common thread throughout cultures - music. This turteka is beautiful in both its loud, boisterous sound, as well as its design.

I didn't realize these came as a pair, and thought it was a mistake I should make right with Hirbawi until coming back to the store page just now and seeing that they are advertised as coming in twos!
These bookmarks are wonderful. They are soft, but I can tell they are durable - as durable as a bookmark should ever need to be. The "knowledge is light" inscription is very fitting.
I ordered "brown", but truly wanted "camel", which was out of stock at the time. Well, seeing as my preferred color is back in stock now, and I have plenty of books to read still, I'm ordering more. Thank you for an outstanding product.

Beautiful bracelet.
This bracelet complements another copper bracelet that I wear, picked out from the jewelery box of a very suddenly lost family member. She would love that her memory adorns my wrist right alongside a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Love it!
Quality made, great stitching, good feel on the hands. Holds everything perfectly well, and looks great while doing it! I love the beautiful sunbird on the front. May all Palestinians feel freedom and love. Thank you for this lovely passport wallet.

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!
