" We have become a family. "

Ethiopia’s bustling capital, Addis Ababa, is a vibrant city where ancient meets modern. Ultra-contemporary skyscrapers are springing up across it’s skyline, but, in most homes, traditional ceremonies and handcrafted items still feature prominently in everyday life. With a median age of just 19.5, many worry about the future of Ethiopia’s craft heritage as young adults are drawn more to offices and modern factories. Thankfully, a close-knit team in one of Addis Ababa’s quieter suburbs is proving that traditional craft techniques are still relevant - and coveted - in today’s modern world. Since 2006, a small group of weavers has expanded to over 185 artisans crafting absolutely exquisite textiles using only locally sourced natural fibers on the same looms passed down through generations.
