MEET THE TEAM

Sabahar is where it is today because of our amazing staff. We have a team of dedicated and skilled artisans and leadership that is inspiring and creative. Many of our staff have worked with us since 2006. Our extremely low turn-over rate enables us to ensure consistent quality and enables us to grow responsibly.

We employ almost 100 people at our workshop and engage another 150 artisans who spin and weave in their own homes or in cooperatives throughout Ethiopia.

ARTISANS

At Sabahar we believe the craftsmanship of hand spinning and weaving results in one of the finest textiles in the world. The beauty lies in the culture and creativity that is woven into each unique piece. We are grateful for our artisans who are the foundation of the company.
