Habesha Kemis — Multicolor Tibeb Stripe

The one that goes with everything — and still says everything.

The Habesha Kemis in Multicolor Tibeb Stripe is the everyday kemis done right. Delicate multicolor Tibeb stripes at the neckline, cuffs, and hem border — understated enough to wear weekly, intentional enough to honor the tradition it comes from. This is the kemis you'll reach for again and again.

Every Ethiopian woman's wardrobe needs a foundational kemis: one that works for the weekly church gathering and the Habesha house party alike, that travels well, that doesn't demand a special occasion to wear. This is that dress. Handwoven white cotton, multicolor stripe detail, no unnecessary flourishes — just the quiet confidence of knowing your heritage is woven into what you're wearing.

At $199, it is the most accessible piece in our collection, and one of the most meaningful.
