Kufiya Poncho (shirt) - the Visuals!!

My wife is a top model (-:
I took the pictures of her wearing the new shirts and here are a sample:

And some more:

Kufiya-Shirt is Here!

Received the first two! What can I say, my wife is a genius (-:

One was made from a pure white kufiya with a classic Palestinian pattern embroidery (white embroidery on white kufiya) and one from a green kufiya with white Checkers pattern embroidery.

They both look really great on her. Tomorrow we are taking pictures and immediately listing it for sale on my ebay Holyland Treasury store and my own store.

Just one thing keeps me thinking. It is trouly a beautiful shirt, but has a strong political context here in israel, preventing it from being a plain fashion item... All around the world, kufiya is a "hot" accessory while here in Israel no one wears it.


What a pity.

Developing a New Product - Kufiya (Shemagh) Shirt

My wife came up with a great idea - create a 'kufiya shirt', produced from Hirbawi kufiyas.

I have so many beautiful, colorful, kufiyas - doesn't have to serve as a scarf!

So... she took it as a personal project. Chose a nice turquise kufiya that was not listed yet,  took it to a tailoress and now we have to wait for a week...

Ethnic accessories are very fashionable nowadays and I hope she'll bring some innovation here (-:

I believe that besides the fashion say we may have here, the origins of the kufiya may also make it a valuble item. Isn't it?

I'll put some pictures as soon as I have a first model.
