Traditional Cream Cardigan (SIS)– Ethiopian Handwoven Cotton Kimono
The Traditional Cream Cardigan captures the delicate beauty of the "human hand." The creamy, unbleached cotton serves as a neutral canvas for the bold geometric embroidery along the lapel and hem. Finished with a soft, fringed edge, this piece bridges the gap between traditional spiritual attire and modern resort wear. It is substantial enough to ward off a chill yet light enough for the midday sun.
