Golden Elegance: Stunning Mermaid Half-Shoulder Habesha Kemis with Exquisite Detailing by Tsehaye Mehari

Celebrate heritage with this strikingly modern interpretation of the Habesha Kemis by Tsehaye Mehari. Perfect for engagements, graduations, or any major cultural event. This gown beautifully balances traditional handwoven texture with a show-stopping, contemporary silhouette.

The dress features a fitted, vibrant gold-dominant bodice that extends into a dramatic, flowing mermaid-style skirt made from pure, luminous white cotton. The bodice is the focal point, adorned with intricate, hand-stitched patterns in majestic purple and complementary light gold threads, creating a regal, almost jewel-like effect.

The skirt, designed for elegant movement, flares out dramatically at the knee. The hemline maintains the traditional Tilet border, incorporating the same rich gold and purple embroidery from the bodice, expertly tying the two sections together. With its chic cap sleeves and tailored fit, this handwoven Ethiopian dress is a true statement of sophistication, blending the richness of cultural textile art with runway-ready fashion.
