What makes Sabahar kitchen and dining products different?
Most conventional table linens are made with synthetic blends or industrially processed cotton. We use locally grown Ethiopian cotton and silk to craft textiles that are 100% natural, biodegradable, and safe for your home and the planet.
How are they made?
Every step from dyeing to spinning to weaving is done entirely by hand. Each piece is woven using traditional Ethiopian techniques. Some products are made with hand-spun cotton, others with recycled yarn or fabric remnants.
Who makes them?
Sabahar is a fair trade, women-owned business that has been operating for over 20 years. We provide fair wages, safe working conditions, and long-term employment to over 100 artisans in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
What truly sets them apart?
Sabahar kitchen and dining pieces are made exclusively with natural fibres, including hand-spun cotton and Ethiopian silk. This rare, time-intensive process gives each napkin, placemat, or runner its distinctive texture, softness, and durability. Whether used daily or saved for special gatherings, these pieces are woven to last.
Why does it matter?
By choosing Sabahar, you're investing in a product that supports livelihoods, preserves craft heritage, and reduces environmental harm - a small choice that makes a real difference.
