Hopefully the wait for the next shipment won’t be long. Again thanks for your patience and most importantly for your solidarity.
OUR APOLOGIES – STILL WAITING ON NEW STOCK – BUT STAY ACTIVE FOR PALESTINE
Unfortunately there has been a further hold up in deliveries of new stock. We are working to overcome this as quickly as possible. Following the huge show of support all around the country on Sunday it’s more important than ever that that we are all active for Palestine:
- write or call your local federal member and senators
- talk to friends and colleagues
- go to protests
- show films about Palestine
- talk to your union about doing more
- write to the newspaper
- call up talkback radio.
Momentum is on our side and every little bit helps. Thanks for your understanding, your support. and, most of all, your solidarity for Palestine.
NEW STOCK IS ON ITS WAY
Due to unprecedented demand we have run out of nearly all kufiya styles. However don’t despair as new stock is on its way – hopefully by the end of the week. We will let you know as soon as it arrives. Our apologies for any inconvenience but the factory is doing its best to keep up with the demand
New stock & a new design have arrived
New stock has arrived, so all your favourite designs are now available. There is also a new design – the Wave of Gaza – its multicoloured on a grey/blue background in a wave design and symbolises the colour and life that was Gaza before the Israeli genocide. Be seen, be heard, be active. Thank you! From the river to the sea Palestine will be free
New Stock is on its way – will arrive this week
New stock has been sent and will be delivered this week. We will have the full range of West Bank Kufiyas available. We apologise for the slight delay but the factory in Nablus is struggling to keep up with demand. Thats yet another sign of the massive support for Palestine. Thank you for your patience and on-going solidarity.
Its here – new stock has arrived
New stock from West Bank Kufiyas has arrived – so plenty of traditional black & white kufiyas, plus replenished stocks of green & white and kufiyas in the flag colours. With the horrors unfolding in Gaza its never been a better time to wear your solidarity for all to see. Last financial year we were able to donate $70,000 to a range of humanitarian and advocacy organisations working for Palestinian freedom and Human rights – including UNWRA, Medical Aid for Palestine, Palestinian Red Crescent, Olive Kids, Human Rights Defenders Hebron, APAN and more. Thanks for your continued support and enabling us to make this contribution. Shukran!!
New stock is on the way
Our amazing suppliers have managed to get another shipment of kufiyas out of the West Bank and on their way to you! The current styles that are sold out will be back in stock – hopefully in the next week. So Black & White, Green & White and Flag Colours will all soon be available again. Thanks for your patience – as you can imagine getting kufiyas made and then distributed to Australia is quite challenging at present. Your ongoing support is appreciated by us but most importantly, deeply appreciated by our suppliers. And don’t forget to have a look at the new tote bags and ponchos while you are on the webpage.
New stock has arrived
All your favourite kufiyas are now in stock – traditional black & white, rainbow, red & white, gold, Irish, tatreez, flag, flag colours and green & white. With the genocide getting even worse but with the pressure ramping up on Israel its never been a better time to buy and wear your kufiya. From the river sea Palestine will be free!
Success leads to GST
Since 1 July 2024 we have sold more than 3000 kufiyas and raised nearly $50,000 that we have donated to organisations working to alleviate the misery caused by Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The outpouring of support via purchasing a kufiya has been heartwarming.
We have sold so many kufiyas in support of Palestine, that we have reached the GST (Goods and Services Tax) threshold for a not for-profit organisation in Australia. This means we have to pay 10% of all sales as tax. Reluctantly, we have to pass this cost on to you. The alternative would be to significantly reduce the amount of money we can donate to organisations supporting Palestine and Palestinian rights, support that is so desperately needed at this time.
Your support for Palestine by buying kufiyas is inspiring and we hope that you appreciate that reluctantly we have had to raise our prices. Your understanding and on-going support and solidarity is deeply appreciated
Thank you
Website glitch – fixed!
9 April 2025
A late night update, as it looks like we’ve fixed the glitch. Apologies for any inconvenience.
We have temporarily had to set all our products to out of stock. This is because of a problem with the shop charging in the wrong currency. We are working hard to resolve this as soon as possible, so please stay posted. We apologise for any inconvenience and will be back running as soon as possible, with a new shipment due tomorrow.
New Stock & New Designs have arrived
All Black, Black & White Reverse, Red on Black and a special limited edition Gold Classic Kufiya are all new designs now available. We have also topped up all your favourite designs. We have additional supplies of the Ghassan Kanafani books and more copies of ‘Daybreak in Gaza’ on the way. ‘Daybreak in Gaza’ is a collection of writings from Gazans about the genocide, but also about the strength and beauty of Gazan culture – it’s a must read! One of its editors Mahmoud Muna, was recently arrested in an IDF raid on The Educational Bookshop in Jerusalem. Join the campaign to support this much loved Jerusalem institution
Jerusalem Educational Bookshop raided – Editor of ‘Daybreak in Gaza’ arrested by Israeli police
Mahmoud Muna, one of the editors of the book ‘Daybreak In Gaza’, and his nephew Ahmad, were last week arrested by undercover police in Jerusalem, during a raid on their store The Educational Bookshop, on spurious and ridiculous charges designed to create a culture of fear amongst Palestinians. Kufiyas Australia stocks this new collection – Daybreak in Gaza.
Police officers ransacked two branches of the Educational Bookshop on Sunday afternoon. Police cited a single children’s colouring book, From the river to the Sea, as evidence of incitement to terrorism, although CCTV footage showed them carrying away several black bin bags filled with books during the raid.
While Mahmoud and Ahmad have been released after 2 days in jail the charges remain.

July Update: Kufiyas In Stock Now!
At long last, after many months, we finally have kufiyas available! West Bank Kuifyas has been established by a group of families who have reopened an old factory in Nablus and are producing a limited range of kufiyas.
Many of those involved work in the tourism sector so have had no work since October, just after the years of Covid restrictions on tourism. We are pleased to be supporting these West Bank families.
As well as classic designs, West Bank Kufiyas have two special models with embroidered bands sewn onto them. One has Palestinian flags, and the other an example of Palestinian tatreez (embroidery).
Of course, we will continue to stock Hirbawi kufiyas when we can get stock, but they are still busy meeting their own demand.
Prices have increased, reflecting the rises in materials costs and also big increases in international freight charges. Local postage has also increased. We work hard to keep our overheads as low as possible to keep kufiyas affordable. We remain 100% volunteer run, with all proceeds donated to support Palestine and Palestinian human rights.
So far we have been able to donate $65,000 to organisations working in the Occupied Territories as well as advocacy organisations working in Australia.
We look forward to receiving your order so you can wear your support for Palestine.
At Last, Some Good News!
June 2024
After many months of waiting, we have received limited supplies of kufiyas from Palestine! West Bank Kufiyas has been set up by a group of West Bank families and they have reopened on old factory in Nablus to produce kufiyas.
We are delighted to be able to support this new enterprise. The tourism sector is important for many in the West Bank and after drying up during Covid, since October everything has been at a standstill. West Bank Kufiyas is a small glimmer of light in the midst of so much sadness.
The downside is that they are not for public sale yet as we are first giving access to those on our very long waiting list. Once we’ve gone through our waiting list we’ll load the remaining stock onto the website, and we hope to have another shipment from West Bank Kufiyas soon. They are producing a limited range – Black & White, Red & White, Green & White, and Rainbow.
Of course, we will continue to stock Hirbawi kufiyas when they are able to send us more stock. Hirbawi are still working flat out to meet their unmet demand.
Thanks for your continuing patience and remember our purpose is to support a Free Palestine! 100% volunteer run, all profits go to support Palestine and Palestinian human rights.
Promising News
February 2024
Friends
Thanks for your patience in waiting for news of new stocks of kufiyas. We have just heard that we may receive limited numbers in March, but nowhere near enough to supply our waiting list. The Hirbawi factory has endured many challenges over recent months – staff scared to leave their homes because of attacks from settlers, struggles to obtain supplies of thread caused by Israeli blockades, and erratic electricity supplies for the looms.
On top of that they are trying to meet more than 300,000 existing preorders from around the world! All this is huge for a small factory with only around ten looms, all more than 50 years old, and processes that entail individual stitching of every kufiya.
The demand for genuine Palestinian kufiyas clearly shows the ever-growing international support for a free Palestine, despite so many of our governments’ continuing support for Israel’s war. How can the world just stand and watch the deaths of almost 30,000 civilians?
At Hirbawi they are hoping to buy a generator to guarantee the electricity supply and also have plans to buy new looms in order to increase production. To do this they have flagged price increases which we will have to pass on. As a totally volunteer organisation all profits are given to a range of organisations providing both direct aid to Gaza and the West Bank as well as advocacy for Palestinian human rights in Australia and internationally. We thank you for your continuing support and encourage you to keep up your commitment to justice for Palestinians. Actions are happening every week all across Australia – and internationally – so please be part of it. Keep up the pressure on our politicians and keep supporting advocacy organisations.
Remember that Hirbawi is the only factory in Palestine producing kufiyas – beware of imitations!
We will let you know as soon as we have new stock, but will probably have to gradually go through our waiting list and limit the number of kufiyas each person can buy. To be added to the list, just send on email to info@kufiyas.org.au
No stock coming yet
20 November
Dear Friends
We have just heard from the Hirbawi weavery in Hebron with news that it will be some weeks before they are back in full production. They have run out of thread and are trying to find ways to import it via Jordan. This is made very difficult because most land transport has been stopped in the West Bank and between the West Bank and Jordan.
We will let you know when new stock is on the way, by posting on our Instagram page and here.
Your support for Palestine at this time is appreciated and we are of course disappointed that we can’t supply the overwhelming demand from you to show your support for equality and human rights for every Palestinian. This is another example of the many ways in which Israel controls and restricts Palestinians, even in industry, and that the current attacks are not only in Gaza, but also in the West Bank.
Please keep up your actions to support a ceasefire by attending rallies, lobbying your MPs and talking to your friends and family about Israel’s attacks on Gaza and the West Bank.
Free Free Palestine!
SORRY – OUT OF STOCK AGAIN
On Monday 6 November we received our latest shipment of 450 kufiyas, and two days later, due to an outpouring of support and solidarity, we have again sold out! We have more on order, but movement restrictions in the West Bank and threatening behaviour by Israeli settlers around Hebron is making it difficult for many of the weavery workers to get to work. Hence as well as massive worldwide demand, production is still happening at a reduced rate.
Although we have more stock on order, we don’t know when it will arrive – but rest assured as soon as it does we will let you know. If you want to go on our waiting list, please send us an email.
In the meantime please keep up your activism and solidarity for Palestine. There are rallies and actions happening all over the country – and if they are not happening in your area think about creating an action. Write to your local politician or write a personalised email to them, write to your local or state newspaper, if you belong to a union urge them to become active.
You can also contribute financially – to the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) for advocacy or to Olive Kids, APHEDA or Medical Aid for Palestine for humanitarian donations.
Ceasefire NOW! End the siege of Gaza! End the Occupation!
Yours in solidarity
Bruce and Brian
NEW STOCK HAS ARRIVED
At last, we have new stock, however it is limited in number and design. A worldwide outpouring of support and solidarity for Palestine has led to a massive spike in sales. While the horror of Israel’s attacks continues in Gaza, Israel is also tightening its control over the West Bank, so movement is highly restricted, and settlers are being even more threatening than usual. This means that many of the Hirbawi weavery’s staff are unable to get to work, so production of kufiyas is limited.
We may not have your favourite design, but we hope you will still find a kufiya to suit and wear proudly and in solidarity. We have ordered further stock, but we don’t know when it will arrive. We will let you know as soon as the new stock is close. In the meantime, we will do our best to get your orders posted to you as quickly as possible.
Thanks for your understanding and continuing support.
Free, Free Palestine
Brian & Bruce
Out of Stock!
BUT you can still show your support for Palestine by making a donation for emergency aid and supplies. We suggest two organisations that are well regarded and work in Gaza:
- Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) is a British based charity that provides immediate medical aid and longer term health development for Palestinians living under occupation. They are already releasing essential supplies for hospitals in Gaza. They have launched a Gaza Emergency Appeal.
- Olive Kids is an Australian charity that supports orphan and other disadvantaged Palestinian children. They have launched an emergency appeal for medical supplies, generator fuel, blankets and food packages for displaced families in Gaza. Donations to Olive Kids are tax deductible.
And please join Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN)’s action to demand that our politicians speak up for Palestinians and call for an immediate ceasefire https://apan.org.au/israel_stop/
Kufiyas (keffiyehs) are the symbol of Palestinian resistance and their fight for justice.
A kufiya will keep you warm in the winter and cool in summer. Kufiyas now come in a large range of designs, from the traditional black and white to colourful modern designs.
We have been importing kufiyas from Palestine since 2015. The sales support the suppliers in Hebron and Nablus, and ALL the proceeds are donated to support Palestinian human rights. All proceeds go to support projects in Gaza and the West Bank (via UNRWA, Medical Aid for Palestine, APHEDA, Olive Kids, Defense of Children Palestine and Human Rights Defenders Al-Khalil) and to solidarity organisations in Australia, such as the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN).World Kuffiheh Day
