Over the years, I’ve always been surprised by how many of you, our clients and followers, have connections to Ethiopia and Eritrea.  Whether you’ve traveled there in the past or have a good friend or family member, it is always a wonderful conversation and commonality that brings us together.  Some of you just have a love of the culture; we have that in common, too.

I hope you enjoyed this list and discovered some new brands!  If there are any others you’d like to share with me, please send them to me, and I’ll add them to our website! (you can reach Hana at hana@boleroadtextiles.com)

With gratitude,

Hana
