As we announced recently, we’re thrilled to have genuine Palestinian kuffiyehs from the Hirbawi factory in Hebron for sale at this year’s Festival of Friendship. As well as the traditional black & white pattern, we have a number of scarves in an array of colours, as you can see here:

The Hirbawi Textile factory is the only remaining kuffiyeh factory still operating in Palestine, so by sourcing our stock from the Hirbawi family we’re able to support the Palestinian economy and help to preserve a significant piece of Palestinian culture.

The Herbawi kuffiyeh factory is the last remaining producer of genuine Palestinian kuffiyehs in the West Bank, and as well as the traditional black-and-white checkered scarf the Herbawi family also make stunning multi-coloured versions. This year, Leichhardt Friends of Hebron is very proud to announce that we’ve managed to source a selection of kuffiyehs direct from the Herbawi factory, and will have them on sale as part of the indoor market at the Festival of Friendship on June 18th.

In the meantime, you can read about the Herbawi factory here, here or here, and see beautiful photos of the kuffiyehs being made here. Kara Newhouse’s wonderful pictures will also form part of the festival’s photography exhibition.
