Israel is a small country with a lot of makers. Some of its brands started in a single shop or a kibbutz workshop and went on to sell around the world. Here are 14 worth knowing, grouped by what they make. You'll find all of them, with links to their own sites, in our Israeli Brands guide.

Buying from Israeli brands in the US

Some of these brands have US stores or distributors, and some ship internationally from their own sites. Before you order, check the brand's shipping page for delivery times, and whether duties are included at checkout. For holiday gifts, give overseas orders extra time.
