The Hirbawi Kufiya: Embrace Palestinian Heritage and Show Your Solidarity
The black and white keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress originally worn by farmers, has long been a symbol of Palestinian identity and resistance, dating back to the British administration of the Palestinian mandate. Embracing this emblematic piece by choosing the authentic Hirbawi kufiya demonstrates solidarity and preserves Palestinian heritage.
The Keffiyeh: A Symbol of Palestinian Identity
The keffiyeh, also known as a hatta or shemagh, is a square piece of cloth usually made from cotton. Historically worn by farmers and Bedouins for protection against harsh desert conditions, the keffiyeh gained political significance during the British administration of the Palestinian mandate. It evolved into a powerful symbol of Palestinian nationalism and resistance against foreign rule and, later, against Israeli occupation. Iconic figures like Yasser Arafat frequently donned the keffiyeh, reinforcing its importance in Palestinian culture. For Palestinians, the keffiyeh represents resilience, cultural pride, and a connection to their land and history. By wearing the keffiyeh, you visually express solidarity and commitment to the struggle for independence.
Choosing Hirbawi Kufiya: A Commitment to Authenticity
Selecting Hirbawi is a meaningful choice. Hirbawi kufiyas are made with care and dedication, ensuring high quality and authenticity.

Demonstrating Solidarity: Wearing the Keffiyeh with Purpose
Wearing Hirbawi kufiya serves as a powerful statement of solidarity.

Let customers speak for us
from 2239 reviewsThese are beautifully crafted bookmarks. People notice and compliment on the uniqueness when I'm out and about. Pro tip. Keeping the bookmark at the corner is okay if you're putting the book down, but if you're putting the book in your bag then locate the bookmark deeper in the fold of the pages so it doesn't catch something and come loose. 👍

I love my new wallet. It’s well made and tough. I look forward to using it year after year.

I was s t o k e d to see the message y'day, and today with the portal opened up when the sale went live I was typing fast•and•furious! Ordered single kufiyas to avoid bouncing; Dheisheh is dark - perfect for constant wear and frequent washing. My wife is getting the Flag colors. Mine's going everywhere I go from the day it arrives.
I cannot wait to put it on over my LOUD Watermelon shirt.
Mandela was right. Until Palestine is free, none can truly be free.

I get so many compliments on this kufiya every time I wear it. Also, I think it looks fantastic so I feel good wearing it. The rainbow colors means it's versatile and matches many outfits. Not to mention the pride and support I can show for human rights and in particular, the rights of Palestinians.

I'm Irish, living in Québec city. I wear my Kufiya everyday when I drop my kids to school and to the creche and then going to work. It is as important today as it has ever been to show our support for Palestine. A Palestinian woman stopped me as I was doing my weekly shopping at the supermarket last week wearing my kufiya. She was in tears to see a westerner openly showing support for her people. I told her to never lose hope, that there are people out there who will not stand silent as Palestine suffers under modern day colonialism, apartheid and the constant threat of genocide. I'll also be wearing my Kufiya at the Saint Patricks Day parade in which I will be takling part, to underline my countries support for Palestine.

I wasn't so sure about this style of bookmark that was unfamiliar to me, but now that it has arrived it makes so much sense, and it really adds to my ceremony of slowing down and reading a book in my hands. I love these.
FYI, the images in the website are very accurate and the blue coloured bookmarks are a thing if beauty. Exactly as shown!

I purchased to support our brothers and sisters in Palestine, but wow, this is a work of art. There is nothing that feels more luxurious than a hand made product, it's a lost art in this day and age. Trust me on this one, treat yourself.

I loved the wallet —- unfortunately my golden retriever ate it the same day I got it! 😫😩

As each earring is different, and the color is silver, these are more subtle than they first appear, and I love that about them. Other people have to look closer to see them. As the adorned, I wear my solidarity physically, visibly, while supporting Palestinian artisans. Beause they are so light, I recommend using silicon earring backs at the end of the hooks to prevent loss. These are too precious to lose.

These beads are wonderful. They are a good size for counting, and just absolutely gorgeous. Plus I’m happy to support Palestinians however I can.

Very high quality craftsmanship, and deep, beautiful colors
