Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Sammies

Sammy's artisans draw on skills passed down over thousands of years — hand-weaving featherweight scarves, hand-dyeing leather, and crafting basketry and pottery.

An artisan works with yarn and spinning tools.

Local craftsmen and women master these traditional techniques while incorporating hand-printed linings, beadwork, and embroidery to create contemporary pieces for a global audience.
