Each process is entirely done by hand as they spin, dye, weave, and finish each piece

Ethiopia, Kenya and India are the homes of artisans that craft Joyfari products.  Amongst a world of talented craftswo/men, we've selected some of our favorite pieces that were spun, weaved, dyed and finished all by hand in order to bring beautiful, comforting and love-labored shawls, blankets, and more to your home.  Joyfari supports Fair Trade wholesalers (Creative Women and Swahili) who's mission is derived from supporting artists and their communities.  

Every meter of fabric requires 9 hours of skilled artisan labor.

Our Ethiopian Gabi's come from a team of artisans through Sabahar, a company guided by three core values:
"Sustainability: We support and train artisans to apply their ancient skills to modern, fresh designs. By providing the bridge between the artisan and the global market, we provide reliable income for families.

Innovation: Weaving is an ancient craft in Ethiopia but silk was only introduced to Ethiopia about 15 years ago. We adopt traditional technologies to new fibers and products. We remain loyal to tradition while adjusting to contemporary tastes of the world market.

Caring for each other: Our products are made with care by people we care about. We create positive work opportunities in Ethiopia, with an emphasis on employment for women. We are members of the World Fair Trade Organization."

Our mission
