- $113
Woven by hand on a traditional loom in Ethiopia, this 100% cotton scarf carries the kind of craftsmanship that machines simply can't replicate. The rich, deep colours emerge from a black warp weave, and every piece is finished with black fringe edges — making it a genuinely thoughtful gift for men or women who appreciate something real and well-made.

🌍 About the Makers
The Addis Ababa artisan group behind this scarf has one clear purpose: to create respectful, ethical and sustainable work for weavers in Ethiopia. Rooted in ancient weaving traditions, they work entirely by hand — from spinning the thread to finishing the fabric. Hand spinning is passed from mother to daughter; hand weaving from father to son. These are centuries-old skills, kept alive and shared with the world through every piece they make.
A skilled weaver produces one to three scarves a day, depending on the complexity of the design. That kind of time and care shows in the finished piece.
Add this handloom cotton scarf to your cart today — a lasting, sustainable piece that means something, whether it's for you or someone worth gifting.

About SLATE + SALT
Slate + Salt is a socially conscious lifestyle brand offering a curated collection of modern, one-of-a-kind pieces handcrafted by artisans around the world. Their collections include jewelry, accessories, textiles, and decorative objects — all created using traditional techniques and fair trade practices.
Their mission is simple and powerful: to connect modern design with ancient craftsmanship, while supporting dignified work opportunities in communities facing extreme poverty.
Slate + Salt works closely with small social enterprises and Fair Trade cooperatives to ensure that every product supports ethical production, fair wages, and long-term economic empowerment — especially for women artisans.
Every item has a story.
Behind each piece is a person, a family, and a community. By choosing ethically produced goods, you help artisans remain in their villages, support their families, educate their children, and preserve cultural traditions that might otherwise disappear.
Because all products are handmade and often hand-dyed, each piece is naturally unique. Slight variations are part of their beauty — a reminder that these are not mass-produced objects, but human creations made with care.
Slate + Salt was founded by an avid traveler who fell in love with the people, cultures, and craftsmanship she encountered across developing countries. Through deep relationships with artisan groups and Fair Trade partners, the brand brings meaningful, ever-evolving collections to a global community that values beauty with purpose.
At Clozist, we are proud to feature Slate + Salt because their work reflects what we believe in: products that are beautiful, ethical, meaningful — and that create positive impact through everyday choices.
