AFAR makes travel goods in Ethiopia, in small batches. We focus on long use, fair work, and responsible sourcing.

Materials

• Cotton canvas from Ethiopian smallholder cooperatives.
• Raffia sourced from smallholder cooperatives in Madagascar
• Leather and horn sourced as by-products, never taken for fashion alone.
• Natural, low-impact finishes where possible, with clear material specs on each product page.

People and work

We produce in Addis Ababa with skilled local artisans, many of them women. We invest in training, stable jobs, and a workplace built on respect and transparency. AFAR is part of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO).

Longevity over volume

• Strong stitching and reinforced stress points.
• Hardware chosen for durability and replacement.
• Repair support, so your bag stays in use longer.

Less waste

We keep packaging minimal and protective. We work to reduce offcuts and re-use materials when the result meets our quality standards.
