Meet the Artisans

Hand spinning and weaving are century-old skills in Ethiopia that were once highly respected. However, because of the increased availability of large-scale manufactured textiles from within the country and abroad, this craft is slowly disappearing. 

The craftsmanship of hand spinning and weaving results in one of the finest textiles in the world. The beauty lies in the culture and creativity that is woven into each unique piece. Every purchase encourages the artisans to preserve the rich textile tradition.

Fifty percent of the staff is women and about seventy-five percent of the management positions are held by women. They attend training regularly, both to build their capacity in their respective areas of specialization but also to help them better manage their finances, health, and homes.
