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.

Beautiful
Bought 3, for myself and 2 of my brothers. We had read a story about this particular items. As the Irish American children of an immigrant, and an American mother who protested for Bobby Sands, while wearing a Palestinian pin....it was a perfect gift. The people of Palestine are in my prayers and in my heart. I hope all countries get to experience respect, peace, humanity. And, of course, Saoirse.

Wasn’t the color combo I was expecting, but I ended up liking it anyway. Instead of a white and grey combo as in the picture, it’s a grey and darker grey combo. Amazing craftsmanship.

Unparalleled Quality
The feel of the fabric is incredible. It's hard to put into words. Nothing quite compares to a true piece of history.

I pray that you were able to open again, and that you are somehow managing to be safe in this madness.

I bought two kufiya's and am so happy!
I was so excited to purchase kufiyas from Hirbawi and feel so honored to be supporting this Palestinian factory. The quality is unmatched and I wear them every day especially around this time of year that it's started getting cold in my part of the U.S. Can't wait to buy more!

Wonderful!
Just a 10 out of 10 on everything! The entire ordering process was so quick and easy. The communication was just out of this world. I received my order pretty quickly, too! The Kufiya is incredibly soft and has kept me warm. I have received so many compliments on my Kufiya as well. I am patiently waiting for the next drop date so I can order more!
