ABOUT US

What We’re All About

In 2022, two American social entrepreneurs with roots in Ethiopian and Eritrean ancestry came together to form YeTibeb - a venture aimed at safeguarding and popularizing the distinct cultural traditions and handicrafts of their native lands. A sojourn to Ethiopia was the catalyst for YeTibeb's inception, and ever since then, the enterprise has been dedicated to creating designs that seamlessly combine pretty incredible traditional, weaving, and, yes, leatherworking techniques perfected over the centuries with meticulous attention to detail. YeTibeb's creations are a testament to Ethiopia's rich cultural heritage and embody socially responsible design innovations that will captivate anyone with an eye for high fashion and art.
