Custom Made

Custom Made

Your measurements. Your style. Handmade in Ethiopia.

Ready-made is convenient. Custom made is personal. With Maraki Roots custom orders, your habesha kemis or dress is built to your exact body — not a standard size you have to compromise with. The Tibeb pattern, embroidery level, sleeve length, and occasion are all yours to decide. We handle everything else.
