What makes Sabahar Living products different?
Unlike mass-produced home textiles made from synthetics, Sabahar throws, blankets, and pillows are handwoven from locally grown Ethiopian cotton. Naturally breathable and plastic-free, they bring comfort and lasting quality to any room.
How are they made?
From dyeing to spinning to weaving, every step happens by hand in our Addis Ababa workshop. Cotton is dyed in small batches, spun on drop spindles, and woven on large traditional looms, then finished with details like twisted fringes and invisible zippers.
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?
Every piece features hand-spun cotton, sometimes combined with intricate, four-harness weaving, giving each blanket or pillow a distinctive softness, drape, and character you won’t find in factory-made décor.
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.
