Beach days just got a whole lot more fun with our adorable Awassa kid’s poncho.

Skilled women in Ethiopia used a traditional loom to weave this garment from 100% locally cultivated cotton and hand-dyed it using local plants and herbs. Perfect for kids aged 3-6, it features a protective hood, a comfortable loose fit, and smart navy blue  stripes.

Whether it’s for pool days, the beach, or simply as a cute extra layer, it’s the perfect quick-drying accessory that provides lightweight warmth and coverage from the sun.

Feel good about your purchase knowing its maker is a member of the World Fair Trade Organization which creates respectful, ethical, and sustainable work opportunities for artisans in Ethiopia.
