Exquisite fair-trade textiles — natural fibres, plant dyes and the patient craft of more than a hundred Ethiopian artisans.
Since 2004, Sabahar has woven Ethiopia's textile heritage into pieces made to be kept.
Every scarf supports fair wages, safe work and lasting livelihoods for our artisans.
Natural fibres and traditional patterns, finished by hand.
Handwoven cotton with a traditional tibeb border.
Lightweight linen, hand-dyed with plant pigments.
A soft, generous throw for the home.
Nothing here is rushed.
Raw cotton is carded and spun into yarn by hand.
Yarn is coloured with plant-based, low-impact dyes.
Woven on traditional looms, then finished and pressed.
Visit our Addis Ababa studio and shop — and watch the weaving first-hand.
