Axum Fetil ቀሚስ – Soft ሽመና Cotton, Habesha Kemis, Ethiopian Dress

Axum Fetil ቀሚስ – Soft ሽመና Cotton | Habesha Kemis | Lightweight Ethiopian Traditional Dress

Woven from a softer, finer ሽመና (shimena) cotton, this Axum Fetil kemis is lighter and more comfortable for longer events than the classic Fetil weave. The Axum embroidery tradition is fully present — precise, structured lines along the collar, sleeves, and hem — but the fabric breathes and moves more gently against the skin. A beautiful choice for warmer climates or any occasion where you want the full dignity of Axum craftsmanship with a softer feel. Every stitch is still hand-done in Axum by artisans who have spent decades mastering this tradition.
