I've had my eye on this store for many years and I regret not buying sooner.
Still, I'm waiting for my order but it's one of the few times I don't really care if it's unfulfilled. Hope they can use the money to just survive out there. If they make it, then I'll buy more later when this hopefully cools down. I just hope this craft can continue authentically in Palestine.
I got one around 2020 because i saw it was the last factory that made them in Palestine and I knew they needed money. I was also concerned that Israel might try to pull something and end up bombing the factory. I never really wore it because I’m not Palestinian, but unironically it is probably the only time I felt 100% good about spending money.
It is okay to be Palestiweeb. Regardless, it also makes a beautiful wall decoration, and these days made in Palestine scarves are hard to get by. So I understand people want to cherish and display their keffiyeh without risking damaging them.
Indeed, religion is about as relevant to wearing a keffiyeh as is your ability to make a perfect batch of hummus (though that skill is always a bonus!)
Every time a Zionist sees one in public, they seethe with rage and hatred. It is your duty to wear one not just out of solidarity, but also because it’s funny seeing genocidal assholes cry
I don't know them directly but I've been a customer for a long time and I know they really struggle to get shipments out to their distributor in Germany due to Israel blockading them.
I think what that means is that it can be really hard for them to know when they'll get more stock and what stock they're going to get in. Which means that their distributor is probably going to be very reluctant to take backorders because they don't what to deal with a bunch of refunds or angry/disappointed customers who haven't had their order shipped for 6 months.
Obviously they do limited amounts of pre-orders at times but you should consider hitting them up to request that they start offering gift vouchers - that way you'd be able to provide them with financial support and you would be able to cash in and get your keffiyeh eventually, once they've got the colour you fancy in stock.

Nabulsi soap is something else comrades could consider buying

You are allowed to wear one, you are encouraged to wear one, directly from primary source

Oh okay that’s good to know!

That’s cool to know! It’s really a nice piece and can go with a lot of outfits.
