Light Green modern Habesha Kemis - Summer Style Ethiopian Handwoven cultural Dress by Tsehaye Mehari

Embrace sophisticated minimalism with this stunning Habesha Kemis, a modern take on the classic Ethiopian traditional dress. This style combines the timeless beauty of handwoven cotton with a contemporary sleeveless silhouette and a fresh, subtle color palette, making it an ideal choice for warmer weather or a chic, understated event.

​ Artisan Craftsmanship and Unique Style

​The gown is crafted from soft, flowing handwoven Ethiopian dress cotton (Shemma), offering exceptional breathability and comfort. The entire dress is a radiant white, allowing the exquisite details to stand out beautifully.

​The unique feature is the Tibeb—the patterned border—which utilizes a sophisticated light olive green (or soft lime green) thread. This color is elegantly woven into a full border at the hemline of the skirt, adding a grounding yet graceful accent. The accompanying sheer shawl (Netela) is perfectly matched, featuring the same delicate olive green Tibeb along its edge, allowing for versatile styling that can cover the shoulders when needed.
