Hirbawi just restocked! They've got more products than before, including their beautiful handmade kufiya -- I ordered one for my sister before the blockades and bombing shut their operation down, and can highly recommend the quality.

allies to Palestine, important info from the team at Hirbawi! info taken directly from the site:

Sumud Stories is humbled to offer the first branded Palestinian flags made in Palestine, addressing historical restrictions where displaying a Palestinian flag could lead to imprisonment. With the establishment of the Palestinian Authority, these legal constraints were lifted, but local factories still hesitated to produce the flags due to fear of retaliation. To circumvent these risks, Sumud Stories decentralized production. The cutting and quality control of the textiles are done in a textile factory in Beit Jala, while the actual assembly is carried out by Palestinian women at home in the Dheisheh and Aida refugee camps in Bethlehem. This approach not only ensures safety and supports local craftsmanship but also empowers women economically and socially within their communities. The Israeli occupation nevertheless makes every effort to purge the Palestinian flag from all of the territories of Palestine. This is because what the Palestinian flag represents is a danger to the Israeli apartheid. Among all of the Middle Eastern flags that display the Pan-Arab colours, the Palestinian flag is overall the most identical to the flag of the historic Arab Revolt against the Ottoman empire. And still today, the Palestinian flag represents far more than its geographical boundaries, as it has steadily become a global symbol of revolution.

if you or someone you know wants to buy a Palestinian flag, put your money where your mouth is and support the women at Sumud Stories who risk their lives to create and share these flags with us. and if you can't afford it, share share share.

Hey everyone, Hirbawi (located in Hebron, West Bank) is taking pre-orders on their next batch of keffiyehs! They'll ship as soon as the blockades are lifted, and all proceeds are going to Palestinian medical assistance.

As someone who has purchased multiple keffiyehs from the fine folks at Hirbawi over the years, I can't recommend them enough. The quality is insanely high, they're traditionally made, and you're supporting a Palestinian artisan instead of buying a mass-produced knockoff made elsewhere.

Got my Kufiya from Hirbawi today!

It arrived shockingly fast, and the texture is so beautiful and unique. Really happy I got mine, and also glad I was able to support them!

Hirbawi is, "the last and only Kufiya manufacturer in Palestine." If you want to show your support, I highly recommend checking them out!

Some lil tips from my experience ordering:

There's a lot of demand for their products rn, which is fantastic! But they are also a small company, so supply is struggling to keep up. Because of this, they had a strict one Kufiya per order policy when I ordered, to ensure more folks can order.

I highly recommend signing up for their restock email list! They sent out restock notifications via email well before their announcement on their Insta, which is how I was able to get mine. They also mentioned that they send out email notifs in waves so as not to overwhelm their site (it was overwhelmed anyway), so if you don't get an early email for one restock, please be patient, your turn will come!

I think they try to restock monthly(?), or at least semi-frequently. I missed quite a few restocks until I got my chance, but again, please have patience, we all want to support them and that's a good thing!

After I got my restock notif, I had a tab open to their site for maybe...four hours. *wince* Their site kept on crashing due to the number of people trying to access it. But I was patient, kept refreshing, and just focussed on one Kufiya, and was able to check out eventually.

They shipped all of their products to Germany, from where presumably most international orders were sent.

They warn that it may take 2-3 months to deliver, but I ordered mine on 2/1, and received it 2/26, so again, much faster than I was expecting!

Hope this info helps!

Sumud Stories: The First Branded Palestinian Flags Made in Palestine At Sumud Stories, we are humbled to offer the first branded Palestinian

"At Sumud Stories, we are humbled to offer the first branded Palestinian flags made in Palestine, a product that carries immense historical and cultural significance. For decades, the mere act of displaying the Palestinian flag could lead to imprisonment under Israeli occupation. Although these legal constraints were eased with the establishment of the Palestinian Authority, fear of retaliation continued to deter local factories from producing the flag.

To overcome this challenge, Sumud Stories decentralized production, ensuring both safety and empowerment for the community. The textiles are cut and quality-checked at a textile factory in Beit Jala, while the assembly is carried out by Palestinian women in Dheisheh and Aida refugee camps in Bethlehem. This approach not only celebrates local craftsmanship but also economically and socially empowers women, providing them with sustainable income and opportunities within their communities."

Hirbawi is now selling Palestinian flags! They've also got a lot of other neat locally made products as well. And if you haven't gotten one of their beautiful kifuyas yet, do it!!!
