This hand-woven striped scarf is crafted by skilled artisans in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, using 100% cotton and a centuries-old weaving tradition. Woven on a black warp that deepens the earthy tones, it's a generous unisex size that works just as well for men as it does for women — and it makes a thoughtful, meaningful gift for anyone who appreciates beautifully made things.

🏺 The Story Behind the Scarf
The Addis Ababa artisan group behind this scarf has preserved Ethiopia's ancient hand-weaving traditions while creating ethical, sustainable work opportunities for local craftspeople. The cotton thread is hand-spun by women across rural communities — a skill passed from mother to daughter — and then woven on traditional hand looms by master weavers who have inherited their craft from their fathers. From spinning to finishing, every step is done entirely by hand. A single weaver produces just one to three scarves per day, depending on the complexity of the pattern. That's the care and time woven into every piece.
