Welana: Handwoven Textiles with Soul
Our scarves, hammam towels, blankets, and baby products are more than just accessories — they are symbols of mindfulness, craftsmanship, and meaningful consumption. Each Welana piece is handwoven in Ethiopia using traditional techniques and crafted from 100% Ethiopian cotton or a luxurious cotton-Eri silk blend.
Looking for a gift with purpose or something beautiful for yourself? Our sustainable gifts combine timeless design with real impact. Every purchase supports local artisans and promotes economic independence in Ethiopian communities.
Slow Fashion Designed to Last
Welana stands for timeless design and long-lasting quality. Our ethically produced scarves, hammam towels, and blankets are perfect for those who choose slow fashion over fast fashion — for those who value meaning over mass production. Whether you're bundling up in winter, lounging on the beach, or adding softness to your home, our products offer style, warmth, and authenticity.
We work with valued partners like Fair Trade-certified Sabahar and Maraki, ensuring dignity and fairness at every step. Our Reuse & Recycle Program supports a circular textile economy that respects both people and the planet.
Fair, Sustainable, Authentic — For You & the Planet
At Welana, we believe conscious fashion can change lives. We connect traditional Ethiopian textile craftsmanship with modern, sustainable values — creating beautiful products that make a difference.
Explore handwoven essentials that feel as good as they look — from baby blankets to year-round scarves to wellness towels. With Welana, you’re choosing quality, humanity, and design that stands for something more.
