Habesha Kemis — Green & Gold Embroidery

Green for life. Gold for prosperity. White for purity.

In Ethiopian tradition, color is never accidental. The Habesha Kemis in Green & Gold Embroidery carries the palette of celebration — rich green and gold Tilf woven at the shoulders, sleeves, and hem of handwoven white cotton. These are the colors of the Ethiopian flag. These are the colors of hope.

For the diaspora woman celebrating Ethiopian New Year (Enkutatash), this kemis is practically ceremonial. Green and gold on white — the color story of the holiday, embodied in dress. But this kemis isn't only for September 11th. It's for any moment that calls for the full expression of who you are.
