There's a bunch of different sites claiming to be Hirwabi. Does anyone know what the authentic one is? I got an e-mail saying it's www.hirwabi.ps

Does that check out? Anyone know?

Hirbawi.ps seems legit, my bookmarks say their site for world wide shipping is www.kufiya.org and their US distributor is hirbawiusa.com which www.hirbawi.ps links to.

That might be a typo on your part but it seems like it's slightly off.

The company is Hirbawi, not Hirwabi.

I also recently received this email from Hirbawi

Dear Hirbawi Community, We have exciting news - our next batch of kufiyas is nearly here, and will restock every two weeks. 🎉

Despite this amazing news, we feel obliged to warn you about the growing issue of counterfeit kufiyas flooding the market, as we need your help.

Warning - Counterfeit Hirbawi Kufiyas 🚩

Fake and low quality kufiyas has always been a problem we have struggled with, and is the reason all our brothers closed their factories, whilst we alone continued to produce authentic kufiyas against the sea of chinese replicas.

However, it has now come to our attention that certain websites have chosen to imitate our factory directly, copying our packaging and logo in order to take advantage of our reputation, and to capitalize on the demand for Hirbawi kufiyas.

To avoid counterfeits, please always use our list of official partners at www.hirbawi.ps.

Which one you planning on going for? Traditional is classic for a reason, but the Palestinian colors one is awesome too. It’s also cool to see the solidarity ones.

I really like how they explain the thoughts behind the designs.

Man, I hope I get a chance to get the traditional black and white one, but more than anything I hope they are safe and continue their craft soon.

I got a couple of other things last time they were taking orders though.

Wise words, it’s tragic how much perseverance has already been displayed in light of how much the adversary is yet to continue lashing out

Hirbawi.ps is just the general information website. On it should be a distributor page which lists the official stores for various regions.
