Ive recently purchased 6 of them and absolutely love them! They are of beautiful quality and great style. I am very happy to have purchased these from the remaining factory who produce the original kufiyah from its founder Mr Hirwabi and glad that i could help their business in some way. It touches my heart to know what they truly represent - solidarity to the people of Palestine who have faced so much adversity, heartache and struggle. Its a symbol of peace towards men and a longing for their human rights be respected and valued. I wish for peace amongst all, brother and sisterhood and ultimately love and respect ♥️
i know im asking the wrong place but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Dominick Kohen thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I just got mine today from this very factory! Excellent quality, but more importantly it supports these good people. Best wishes from America. We're working here to help liberate Palestine on our end, small as our contribution may be. Peace be on you.
For anyone wanting to get a genuine Keffiyeh, amnesty international is a distributer of them from this very factory. The quality is fantastic and you have the satisfaction of knowing that the proceeds go to a worthy cause, I hadn't seen this until after I got mine and its so sad to see this happening.
Whether you get it for the practical use or the politics, a kuffiya is a valuable piece of clothing to have (for the heat, for the cold, etc.). I bought mine from madeinpalestine.de (as a German of Jewish-Israeli background) because this man's business is struggling and I always support small owned businesses, regardless of this man's nations politics towards mine. The quality is absolutely amazing, truly impeccable. He is a man, doing what he loves, and he should be allowed to do so, and not suffer because of the Chinese knockoffs that ruin business. Put your politics aside and start supporting humanity.
by the way kufiya .org is the official seller of the original Palestinian Keffiyeh from Hirbawi, the last remaining factory in Palestine. Free shipping world wide.
I went on their website several times in the last few months, everything was sold out. That's why I ordered via Hebronarts. But I'll also try Amnesty International
By the way, i think part of the name keffiyeh makes it a little more difficult to find when it is called shemagh mostly in stores and online. I think many people would be interested in buying them since they are of better quality, its just that they can't find them and therefore end up with Chinese copies because most people call them shemagh on internet, youtube etc. (at least in Europe and US)
the way things work tho is you have to change with the times, his business could be booming if he put it on the internet. i know its an old tradition but i dont think there would be anything wrong with using the modern business plan to reach customers all over the world. im sure many muslims and non muslims would like to buy a keffiyeh made in its birth place. Someone get this man a computer!!
Hey! I know your post is over 1 year old (which is a eternety on the internet) but I don't want you post be uncommended. I bought my four shemaghs DIRECTLY from this factory. Do you want to know how much I paid? Not more then 80 DOLLARS. That is just a little little bit more then this horrible chinese stuff. It is genuine, no "synthetic" smell, no ink when I was it. You can almost "feel" the love they had when the made my shemagh. You can feel the quality and their tradition.
Does anybody know how to buy from this factory? I am willing to pay as much as it takes to support the Palestinian struggle, and show my solidarity through this product. Any links or information would be nice.
@huso20 .gphrc(dot)org/ One hundred per cent of all monies go back to the Palestinian people. The Campaign funds students through University, the poorest people who could not afford to fund themselves. We also fund two disabled children for medical costs, poor families, medical needs and when we visit twice yearly there is always something we find to help fund or sponsor.
I have the red and white heavy cotton one and after 2 hand washes one of the end ball knots has come undone. Is there a way to find how they tie the end knot or is it just cut off? The lighter cotton ones don't seem to have this problem. Thanks
Some of us old geezers have a hard time understanding the importance of having a strong internet presence for our business. Perhaps a computer savvy college kid would be of help in designing a good web page so that customers across the globe can order directly from him. He might have to give up using ledgers and learn how to use software to keep book. Plus he would have to make a lot of changes to track inventory and shipping. That's asking a lot for an older person to adapt to.I wish him well.
I have many Scarfs, shemaghs from around the world, from China *sorry*, Abu Dhabi, Israel, Afghanistan, and over the moon to add Palestinian keffiyeh and i know that its made in Palestine by the passionate brothers shown in the video, the colours are beautiful and cant wait to take it and represent the Hirbawi brothers across the globe with me... £8 rip-off never again, id much rather pay x2/x3 the amount to keep these people and factory going.
From Mexico -Anyone knows when they'll restock? I'm trying to order some kufiyas on the website but everything is sold out pretty much : / #FreePalestine
@@norbertflesch5440 I don't buy Palestinian products for their high quality or lack thereof. I buy them so I feel like I'm doing something to help out.
@Yitzchak2492 That sounds wonderful. I hope to hit Mexico soon, but I'd much rather go to Oaxaca or Chiapas than northern Mexico. Not studying Spanish in España, though. I'm taking a rather short class there in English, No puedo hablar español tan bueno que un hablante nativo, pero puedo hablar la idioma mejor que mis compañeros. It's more of a history class, and I'm hoping to see some of the sites of the Spanish Civil War, particularly the republican landmarks.
The chinese versions are so horrible... If you get a real one from Palestine or a handmade one from Syria & Jordan you can tell the difference between genuine and fakes.
@Yitzchak2492 that's kind of NOT true at all. I've actually already purchased one already. Palestineonlinestore com is a site which buys from this factory (or at least claims to). This claim is also backed by thekufiyehproject org. Granted, all of them could be lying, but if sources are correct, this is a method of purchasing legitimately from Palestine. Took a week to find this.
@Yitzchak2492 Exiles from the war as in they were republican sympathisers? If so, I have the greatest respect for your parents, even though I have never met or conversed with them.
I wear mine as a white male due to the virus. Yes, those from Palestinian may find it offensive that I'm wearing one. However, I wear mine because it does NOT belong to the Palestinian people as a symbol of resistance. In fact, the desert scarf was around LONG before Mohammed even discovered Islam. So it also does not belong to Muslims either. It's just a scarf. Yes, you can get certain patterns on it that are more associated with certain tribes from Arabic countries; in fact, most tribes wore colored ones. Whereas in places like Israel, they wear traditional black and white. So if a Palestinianian wanted to start something with me for wearing it, I'd happily educate them. Which of course, they wouldn't agree, and I don't care.
Didn’t you know that being Muslim is not a nationality ? A Muslim can have any possible nationality and Palestinians are not exclusively Muslims, fyi (btw, prophet Muhammad PBUH didn’t discover Islam, I’d use another word for that). It seems like you desperately want to start a fight/argument with some Palestinian. Dude, 99% of the time, Palestinians won’t slam you for wearing a keffiyeh. At worst they’d just want you to know what it’s about and to purchase one made either by Hirbawi or a Palestinian-owned business. Also, Arabic is a language whereas people from Arabia are Arabs who happen to come from ARAB countries. You’re welcome.
I am a but confused as to the whyness of a Palestinian being "offended" that you supported a Palestinian textile manufacturer. Can you ELI5? thanks, another white guy who appreciates the craftsmanship of Hirbawi.
@@missmokkori5558 I’m not looking for a fight, but if I was it would be easy to win. I don’t ware the traditional black and white one because I don’t support Palestinian, I support Israel. The Bible says to do so in fact which a lot of far left Christians are deluded to. I wear a cheap Chinese one for camping, and having it as a tool, not a fashion accessory. That being said I do own a nice one from Palestinian that is practical during cold months. That being said I don’t have issues with Islamic people wearing one, but I run into college liberals who think they’re educating me like you think you are. But you’re really not lol. It’s just a fucking piece of cloth.
@@unwavery I do own a Hirbawi. I wear it and love it during cold months. They don’t work as well as Chinese ones for hot days though. The cheap ones seem to hold water better and stay cooler longer.
I hope all the commenters below are happy with the product they've bought, but not me. Recently I've received my kufiya, bought from kufiya.org / madeinpalestine.de . I've expected it to be 100% cotton as advertised. Burn tests revealed that all the threads are synthetic. I'm deeply disappointed and can't recommend it to anyone. You try to support a small factory and receive garbage, never again. Of course no response in email or on there site on Facebook. Good luck trying to leave a bad review on their site, they have to "authorize" it first (HA HA). This is a sure way to loose customers trust and sympathy for a cause. I got exited that I could help them , now i fell betrayed. It's still better to by a cotton scarf made in China for 8$ then an "authentic" and"Original Hirbawi" made of polyester for 30$. 😡
@Yitzchak2492 Oh, I couldn't agree more, in all seriousness... however, I am completely out of money, as I am spending literally my life's savings to take a class in España, which has been my dream for the longest time. I'll have to support the cause with a mere $20, rather than with another trip. Depending on how things heat up in Kuwait, though, I might end up traveling there with a comrade of mine who was born there. Maybe we could stop in Palestine first for a day or so.
I bought a counterfeit, {it was my brother who said it was probably a fake} from Ebay. It was too cheap and too flimsy to be real.... So am buying a proper one..I had no idea there were ''Real '' ones and fakes.... Real ones are available from Ebay that show Palestine packaging and label, and are better grade...bigger and cotton.. {brother has real one}.... It is like China making Union Jack flags..... just nuts.
This comment is pure nonsense. All they want is to make a decent living out of their keffiyehs. If you had read your history books correctly, you’d have known that Hamas was only created in 1987 and that the Zionists decided to displace the Palestinians from 1948 !! So Hamas wouldn’t have been a thing if Palestinians had been left alone to live happily and freely from the beginning

Greetings from Italy!!!
I wear my Hirbawi kufiyah everyday in support of Palestine... We in Malaysia stand with the people of Palestine... Free Free Palestine!
Just recieved mine today in the mail took 2 weeks to come it was worth it mine was made at the hirbawi textile factory as well
I watch this every now and then, and the sound of the machines and watching them create the cloth is so satisfying.

LM1990 that works towards Palestine people who don't like whites wearing them. They need to realize the desert scarf does not belong to them.
Art Hampton, LM1990 said he’s a jew, so he’s not white. Duh.
Redseal Greg jews and Palestinians are white.
in germany we have a page that sells products from palestine, one of them being keffiyehs from this factory
I have a few Herbawi's I love them. Please make more of the colors of Bethlehem ❤❤❤❤❤
