"This Red Habesha kemis is handwoven from sturdy menen cotton and trimmed with a bold gold tibeb pattern that runs along the neckline, sleeves, and hem. The deep maroon shade gives the dress a warm, festive quality that suits the candlelit church services and family meals that mark Genna for Ethiopian and Eritrean households abroad.
Color: Red
Material: Handwoven cotton with gold tibeb embroidery
Silhouette: A-line, full-length traditional kemis cut
Skilled Ethiopian weavers produce each tibeb border by hand, a process that can take days for a single dress. The maroon Habesha kemis that results carries the texture and durability cotton is known for, so it holds up well through a full day of holiday hosting, photos, and travel between family gatherings.
