Weaving Ethiopia’s Future, One Thread at a Time
Minab was born in the heart of Addis Ababa with a simple mission: to bring Ethiopian craftsmanship to the global stage. What started as a small workshop in 2018 has grown into a movement — connecting traditional artisans with contemporary design, creating pieces that honor heritage while embracing the future.
Our name, “Minab,” means “thread” in Amharic — a reminder that the strongest fabrics are woven from many strands. Every garment we create represents the coming together of master weavers, dyers, tailors, and designers, each contributing their expertise to a shared vision of excellence.
Our Values
Sustainability
Every piece is crafted with environmentally responsible materials. We source organic cotton, natural dyes, and partner with eco-conscious suppliers across Ethiopia.
Artisan-First
We work directly with over 200 artisan families, ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and the preservation of traditional techniques.
Craftsmanship
Each garment undergoes rigorous quality control. Our master tailors bring decades of experience, and every stitch tells a story of dedication.
Community
5% of every purchase goes toward education and vocational training programs in the communities where our artisans live and work.
