My handwoven tote from Sabahar is beautiful. The textile has a lovely organic quality, and the craftsmanship is evident in both the texture and finishing. What makes it even more special is knowing the care, tradition, and artistry behind how it was made.
My experience with Sabahar has also been exceptional. Sophie has been thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely interested in understanding what I am looking for. I’m very happy to have discovered Sabahar and look forward to following their work and future collections.
Shipping was quick and everything was packaged nicely. I feel confident making purchases with this company.
Thank you so much. The items always arrive promptly and in great condition. Sabahar is doing such important work preserving tradition while fully integrated into the online ordering system. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to wear and gift these items.
Multi-use items made by skilled hands. The golden cotton towel/wrap is sunshine anytime anywhere! Please join me in supporting the Sabahar artisans and team.
I could not be more pleased with my purchase from Sabahar. The cotton napkins I purchased are exactly as described and shown. I highly recommend this company and their products.
I don’t know much about making this stuff, but the quality and workmanship is is obvious.
Me and my family were looking for a place to buy a traditional yet professional wear/textile yesterday for my family members going back to the US. We wanted something they can wear on various occasions... we're very glad to have found sabahar because it's amazing how we found what we are looking, how we pictured it, in terms of style and aesthetics.
In addition, to this we were given a tour of the work shop in the next compound by Ms. Wintana and I want to say I'm truly amazed at how everything is made... even tough it was well past working hours Ms. Wintana went greatly in-depth on how everything was made with patience, she explained to us how sabahar is making an impact on the handmade artisan craft that was dying slowly and how sabahar is the first members of world fare trade org in Ethiopia in which sabahar treats workers well, pay fair prices, and protect the environment while doing that. Jaw dropping story telling and enjoyable experience I fully recommend going to the workshop.
All in all great experience absolutely recommend it.
The products you find here are sold all over the world. But you'll have a better selection and much better prices at this store, which is next door to their factory. Take the tour if you have time--and ask for Wintana, who was exceptional--and a joy.
We keep giving Sabahar towels to folks as gifts, and everyone has been thrilled to get them...even the people who are very difficult to buy for. It's come to the point that we keep a set around just in case we need a present on short notice.
I love the design of the Terara tea towels. I also love that they do not have fringes! They are practical but also beautiful. Everyone needs one of these in their home!
Quality local artisan weaving products. Love our new recycled sari silk table runner (inspired by the colours of Harar). A must shopping trip...also highly recommend arranging a tour of the workshop...provides understanding of the tremendous effort & collaboration that is embedded in each piece.
