Sabahar was founded in 2004 in Addis Ababa by Kathy Marshall, a Canadian living in Ethiopia, with the aim to shine a light on the East African nation’s rich cultural heritage while creating sustainable employment for local artisans. Inspired by the ancient Ethiopian tradition of cotton handloom weaving, the pioneering brand creates exquisite handmade textiles for the modern home using only natural fibers and eco-friendly dyes. A fair trade enterprise, Sabahar guarantees fair living wages, social benefits, and employee empowerment opportunities for a lasting impact.
