Ethiopian sheepskin leather is one of the world's top materials, light and supple yet highly durable. Though most gets exported for use by foreign apparel makers, one workshop in Addis Ababa is working to forge a global Ethiopian brand through luxury handmade sheepskin bags. Having fallen in love with this unique material while in Ethiopia as an international aid volunteer, founder and designer Hiroko Samejima decided to launch a business working closely with Ethiopian artisans.
