🌍 The People Behind It
The Addis Ababa artisan group is dedicated to creating ethical, sustainable work for weavers and spinners across Ethiopia. Hand-spinning is traditionally passed from mother to daughter, with rural women spinning cotton at home to earn a supplemental income. Hand-weaving — passed from father to son for centuries — remains central to Ethiopian culture and dress. A single weaver produces one to three scarves per day by hand, depending on the complexity of the design. Every scarf you buy directly supports this living tradition.
