Creative Women | Tibeb Hand Towel

The Product: 

Inspired by rich Ethiopian heritage, the Tibeb collection is a fresh take on a classic African motif. Its geometric pattern is striking and on-trend and will complement any room.  Each towel is hand-woven in Ethiopia using time-honored weaving traditions and AZO-free dyes. Hand-spun Ethiopian cotton adds a uniquely rich texture that will continue to soften and become more absorbent with each wash/dry.
