Pink Habesha Kemis/ቀሚስ – ሰርግ/Wedding Tibeb Ethiopian & Eritrean Dress

Pink is not the traditional color of habesha kemis — white is. But habesha brides and their families have long known that there is beauty in stepping just slightly off the expected path while keeping everything else deeply rooted in tradition. This kemis does exactly that. The pink base is soft, not loud — the kind of color that photographs beautifully in natural light and sits well next to the white of a traditional wedding. The tilf weave gives the fabric its characteristic texture and weight, and the embroidery across the collar and hem keeps this unmistakably habesha. Our head tailor, with over 20 years of experience in Ethiopian dress, handles pink kemis with the same care as any white piece — the stitching is done hand thread by thread, two to three artisans collaborating until the embroidery is exactly right. This is a made-to-order piece, custom sewn to your measurements. Check our size guide before ordering. After it arrives, our care guide will help you keep it looking beautiful.
