I love this look, especially for its breezy look and feel, great for the summer! Lemlem the company behind this amazing outfit has quite a history (see story below).

This dress called Bella Patio is available in 4 bold color combinations. An elasticated band flatters the waistline. Fabric Composition: 85% Cotton 15% Acrylic. The vest named Dido Textured Vest features a dense textured weave and is lined with a bold Ethiopian print.

Handmade in Ethiopia.

Supermodel / actress and former World Health Organisation’s Goodwill Ambassador for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, Liya Kebede discovered that traditional weavers in her native country of Ethiopia were losing their jobs due to a decline in local demand for their goods and wanted to do something about it. Recognizing the beauty, quality and historic significance of their work, Liya started Lemlem in 2007 as a way to inspire economic independence in her native country and to preserve the art of weaving

Today, Lemlem, which means to flourish or bloom in Amharic, is thriving. Thank you to those who support this handcrafted collection of women’s and children’s clothing, while helping preserve an ancient art form.
