Group buy of Palestinian Kufiya

[Beachlover]

Following on from a brief discussion elsewhere on here, I'm happy to organise a group buy of Palestinian made kufiya. This isn't so much about getting us a cheap discount as much as supporting a small Palestinian business in terrible times.

Hirbawi Kufiya - Home of the Palestinian Scarf

Buy the original and authentic Palestinian scarf from the last kufiya factory in Palestine. Hirbawi can deliver Kufiyas around the world.

Perhaps the best way to proceed is for anyone interested to indicate what pattern they're interested in and if there are enough of us I'll get them ordered and shipped to me and I'll cover the onward post in the UK.

If anyone feels they'd like to chuck in a few bob extra then I'll talk to the company and see how to donate and add it to the total.

I'll have a black and white one or palestinian anti cruella one. not bothered really

 

[BorderReiver]

I'll have a Jenin Hirbawi please.

 

[Nice65]

Royal and Tabariya.

As you said though Kev, 3 of us have already ordered so I won’t be bothered if we end up dumping the idea.

 

[BorderReiver]

Likewise, happy to have another, no tears if I don't.

By my calculations (rough), ordering one for yourself will cost about 33 Euro and with an order of eight as it stands at present then we'd divide up the 19 Euros between us, which brings it down to around 28 Euro. This doesn't include postage from me to everyone, which I'd be happy to cover, but for a saving of £4.50 I can't but wonder whether folks would do as well to order their own, especially if as I suspect, Hirbawi make a small income from each shipping charge as well.

Thoughts?

I'm happy either way.

Think you’re probably right, not worth the hassle to do it together.

Mine cost me €35 or £31.57 with tracked postage.

Just looked at my receipt and it was 33 Euro. I used the cheapskate shipping option, so perhaps the saving goes up to around £6 with A GB of 5+
As I said, I'm easy but hope that we're not eating into a meagre profit they perhaps make on shipping individually as opposed to the 5+ option.

I like the trad blue one - the white ones have a certain elan, too ... Either way, I will order it from Canada.

 

[Andylaser]

I quite like the green one. Suitably camo for jihad operations.

I’m happy to make my own order, GBs used to work on a price reduction for large orders, and that’s pretty much exactly what we’re trying to avoid here, the more they get from us the better.

I was pretty impressed that serial impulse buyer @Templogin was able to sit on his hands for 24hrs before purchasing to be honest.

I think the original idea we had last night was well intentioned but perhaps not thoroughly thought through. Story of my life really!
Might be good to post up pics here of what we buy individually perhaps.

Ive ordered a Royal one.

I dont want to be arrested for wearing an item of clothing so chickened out of the Lebanese one

 

[Juttle]

Anybody else having problems getting on to the site, all I’m getting is a blank page!

 

[ElThomsono]

It's working fine for me?

 

[Beachlover]

Blank page for me too.
Maybe busy. They sent an email saying they’d had more orders than normal.

 

[Nice65]

Site works for me, but I’d imagine the electric supply might well be suffering.

 

[noddy]

Got an email saying mine's been shipped.

 

[Juttle]

Still not working so I removed all the edibles and brushed out the crumbs and…

Its back. Order completed!

Got their newsletter this morning. They appear to be a reasonable bunch of folk with no obvious leanings towards the Hamas bastards.

As we go about our daily lives, it's crucial to pause and consider the escalating crisis in Gaza and the broader region.



The Israeli government's threatening rhetoric, including comments from Prime Minister Netanyahu about turning Gaza "into a deserted island," raises significant concerns. These are not merely words but a chilling portent for the people who live there.



In this environment, it's heartbreaking to think that the Israeli military, one of the most technologically advanced in the world, directs its might not solely at armed militants but also at vulnerable civilians.



These aren't just statistics or casualties of war; they are fathers who may never again hear their daughters' laughter, mothers who may never see their sons take their first bike ride, and young people with dreams of changing the world. Each one deserves more than a life of mere survival; they deserve a life filled with dignity, love, and opportunity.

It's essential to highlight that at the core of this ongoing conflict is a system of apartheid that perpetuates inequality, violence, and the violation of human rights.



We at Hirbawi stand firmly in the belief that every individual—regardless of religion or ethnicity—deserves equal treatment. This foundational principle of equality has the power to dismantle the walls of racism and apartheid that have been erected over decades in Palestine.



For a just and lasting peace, this fundamental truth must be acknowledged and acted upon by all parties involved, including Israelis, Palestinians, and the international community. Until we reach this critical understanding, the people of Palestine continue to need your emotional and material support.



Keep the Palestinian plight at the forefront of your thoughts, your discussions, and your actions. Let's hold onto hope—the hope that one day humanity will awaken to the truth, ending all forms of apartheid and finally granting equal rights to everyone in historical Palestine.



Only then can we make meaningful strides toward peace, freedom, and justice for all.
