Wrap yourself in luxury with our cosy ‘Kaba’ cape.
Skilful artisans in Ethiopia used a traditional loom to weave this cape from 100% locally sourced cotton. Coloured with natural dye in a cream tone, and finished with tassel edging, it brings timeless elegance to any outfit.
The buttons are made from locally sourced horn, a bi-product from the meat industry. The button holders are crocheted by the weaver’s daughters.
This versatile fashion piece is reversible and can be worn as a shawl, or buttoned up as a jacket or poncho. It’s the perfect accessory to add warmth and coverage in the cooler months or while travelling.
Wear your new cape with pride knowing you have supported Fair Trade business in Ethiopia, and women who have suffered from obstetric fistula.
