Item details

The Habesha Kemis is a traditional ankle-length dress worn by Ethiopian and Eritrean women for formal events, holidays, and celebrations. Made from handwoven cotton (often shemma fabric), it typically comes in white, grey, or beige with vibrant, intricate embroidery (tilet or tibeb) along the neckline, sleeves, and hem. Regional variations exist: Tigray styles feature bold black and red geometric patterns, while Amhara designs use softer greens, golds, and blues. The dress is often paired with a netela (light shawl). White symbolizes purity, gold indicates prestige, and colors like blue and red reflect loyalty and strength. It’s a cultural symbol blending heritage and elegance.
