About Us

After many attempts and failures at purchasing Habesha dresses online my wife inspired me to create EthiopianDress.com. This online clothing store allows you to buy traditional Habesha dresses made in Africa. The Habesha Kemis (Ethiopian or Eritrean ቀሚስ kemis dress) is the traditional clothing for Habesha women. This ankle length dress is usually worn by at formal events such as weddings, new year’s, birthdays, bridal shows.  Many women also wrap a scarf called a netela around the formal dress. Our company has some of the world’s best Habesha dress designers who handwoven these dresses in Ethiopia, bringing this traditional cultural dress into the worldwide spotlight.
