Textiles are more than fabric.
They’re companions, keepers of memory – and sometimes quiet messengers.
At Welana, they are made by hand.
Thread by thread.
Each piece holds stories of people, places, and time.
And of what’s possible when tradition, design, and fair working conditions meet.
1. Craft that lasts
Our scarves, throws and towels are woven in Ethiopia – by small owner-run workshops.
The process is slow, intentional, and often passed down for generations.
These are not mass products – but handmade pieces with meaning.
You can feel the difference.
2. Connection through cloth
Our textiles connect – not just threads, but people.
Makers in Ethiopia with wearers in Berlin, Paris, or Singapore.
A lived exchange.
And often, conversations start here:
“Where is this from?”
“Who made it?”
“What’s the story?”
3. Something to keep
A Welana scarf isn’t made for one season.
It’s made to stay. For winter walks, slow mornings, travel.
Some become gifts. Others are passed on.
Most: are kept.
Because when something is handmade, it’s often used with more care.
What we hope to share:
Our textiles may look simple – and that’s what makes them special.
They tell stories – without needing many words.
And they remind us: Fewer things. More meaning.
