Ethiopian Traditional Clothing
Habesha Kemis
Ethiopia is one of culturally rich countries in the
world with different beautiful clothing traditions. Each tribe or ethnic
group that resides within Ethiopia's borders has its own styles and
varieties, Habesha Kemis is one of those cultural clothes.
Habesha Kemis is a traditional attire worn by Ethiopian and Eritrean women. It is characterized by a full-length white or gray dress that is often decorated with colorful designs. Habesha Kemis is usually accompanied by a shawl, known as a netela, which is typically made from white fabric that may be decorated with embroidery.
Habesha Kemis has been wore at formal events, holidays and during special occasions, including weddings, religious festivals, parties, and other happy events. But nowadays it comes in many forms and a bit touch of modern designs.
