Group of leather workers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Our goal is simple-- we want to do better than what is already being done. Better principles, better practices, better products.

Ethiopia is home to a young and abundant workforce; however, jobs are scarce in the capital city. Addis Ababa was previously known as a place of opportunity, but overpopulation has left many without a sustainable path forward. 

We are connecting with young creatives and providing dignified employment, livable wages, and personal growth opportunities.

 We strive to provide products that are equally beneficial to the consumer AND creator. When you shop with us, you’re not only investing in a product that will last, but also in the lives of our friends across the globe.

 In addition to partnering with Ethiopian makers, we donate a portion of every sale to KIBIR Consultants, an organization training and equipping Entrepreneurs in Ethiopia.
