First Suno for Kenya and now Sammy for Ethiopia. Happily, the line between ethics and luxury is becoming more blurred all the time. Sammy Handmade in Ethiopia is preserving the country’s longstanding weaving tradition by creating gorgeous accessories and bringing them to Barneys New York. Supported by The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Sammy works with a co-op of women with AIDS-affected families in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital city, who have been trained in embroidery and handcrafts in order to support their families.
I love a warm-weather scarf and nothing says “summer” like a touch of colorful tie-dye. These handmade wallets, clutches, and scarves are the perfect gifts, especially for yourself! Funky, spirited, completely unique – but the best part is the cause. When you buy Sammy Handmade, you’re not only injecting avant-garde tie-dye and gauzy color-blocking to your look, you’re directly supporting women and families who need it most. At Barneys New York for $90-$215.
Star Embroidered Scarf, $98.
Eyerus Scarf, $90
Rainbow Striped Scarf, $90.
Aster Tie-Dye Wallet, $155.
