Collection: SOSH Collection - Source to Shelf

We are proud to announce our Partnership with SOSH Collection - Source to Shelf. SOSH Products include beautiful handwoven organic cotton and silk garments, and handmade Eco friendly handbags.

Cross Body & Tote Bags: The fabrics used for bags are made of multiple yarn threads twisted together, which increases the resistance without increasing the weight and the load of the fabric. The sheen of the leather and the smoothness of the edges are due to patient hand wiping using clothes and waxes. All our beautiful and multicolored horn accessories come from the Ethiopian Zebu cows. The handle joints are made with multiple layer reinforced Zebu cow horns, which are unique in color but also incredibly strong and durable. Zebu leather is similar to a wild animal skin, it carries the memory of acacia thorns, insect bites, encounters with predators and all their life time work done for farmers.

Ethiopia is home to Zebu cows, the ancestor of all bovines. The Zebus still live outdoors and work for their entire lives, being fed on grass. They are not treated with antibiotics, hormones or any other chemical. Most importantly, the leather is a by –product. The Zebu cows are not raised for their skin or meat, but are working animals that live out their lives roaming the beautiful Ethiopian landscapes. The Zebu cow skin carries with it the beauty of living organically in nature. The leather is also vegetable tanned to preserve its entire natural appeal. In the spirit of sustainability, the Zebu cow skin and horns are collected at the end of the cows working life. 

A natural dyeing process using pigments extracted from soil and charcoal, and our screen printing which is fully done by hand creates a unique shade and elegance while celebrating nature. 

Handwoven Dresses & Skirts: The creative organic collection of dresses and skirts are produced from ethically and sustainably sourced, Ethiopian cotton and Ethiopian Eri silk, using traditional hand weaving methods.

The cotton we use has been grown by small farmers for centuries using only traditional techniques, natural fertilizers and no pesticides. The heavier fabrics used for bags are made of multiple yarn threads twisted together, which increases the resistance without increasing the weight and the load of the fabric.

Eri silk is harvested following sustainable and ethical process. No living organism is harmed during the silk harvesting process. Thicker and stronger Ethiopian  Eri silk does not come from genetically modified organism (Gmo’s) as most silk does.
