These eco-friendly, Fair Trade towels are soft, absorbent, and versatile, with a simple yet elegant design. Handcrafted by Ethiopian weavers on traditional two-harness looms, they are lightweight, durable, and fast-drying, making them perfect for the bathroom, beach, pool, sauna, or as a shawl or throw. Finished with classic twisted fringe, these towels embody both beauty and functionality. They are named after the Dawa River in Ethiopia, reflecting the region’s natural elegance.

Behind the Weave: How it's Made?

What makes Sabahar bath products different?

All of our bath products are 100% natural, breathable, and gentle on the skin. Sabahar offers the only towels on the market made with hand-spun cotton, a rare and labour-intensive technique that gives each towel its unique softness, texture, and durability. 

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 are made on four-harness looms for added texture and absorbency; others feature intricate hand-picked patterns passed down through generations. All are machine washable, quick-drying, and designed for daily use.

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.

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.
