What is Derbaba?
Derbaba is an online marketplace dedicated to Ethiopian and Eritrean traditional clothing. We connect diaspora buyers in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe with independent sellers in Addis Ababa, whose pieces draw on weaving traditions from Gondar, Tigray, and Harari.
Our marketplace features hand-loomed habesha kemis for weddings, graduations, baptisms, and everyday celebrations. We also carry men's traditional tunics and gabi, netela shawls and shash head coverings, hand-woven tibeb borders and tilet panels, and traditional accessories including Lalibela crosses and Harari beadwork.
Every seller on Derbaba lists their own pieces and communicates directly with buyers via WhatsApp or Telegram to agree on price, sizing, and shipping. There is no intermediary — the full price goes to the maker. Sellers pay a flat $5 listing fee for 90 days with no commission on sales.
