Elevate your daily rituals with the Genalé Hand Towel — a beautifully handwoven piece that combines style, craftsmanship, and character.
Each cotton fiber is spun by hand and woven on traditional looms into a lightweight, breathable fabric that feels luxuriously soft and dries quickly. Intricate geometric patterns, created using an age-old Ethiopian stick-picking technique bring a touch of timeless artistry to any kitchen or bathroom.
Named after the Genale River in southeastern Ethiopia, these towels are a celebration of tradition woven into the fabric of modern life. Plus, these hand towels make the perfect gift — everyone needs them, and they bring lasting beauty to any home!
Our recommendation: Pair it with the matching Genalé bath towel and bath mat for a coordinated, elevated look!

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.
