Baptism & Christening

Habesha Dress for Baptism

In Ethiopian Orthodox tradition, the whole family dresses in white for a child's baptism — the mother in white habesha kemis, the baby wrapped in a fine white netela with woven tibeb border. The netela used at baptism is often kept as a keepsake for life.

Derbaba connects you with sellers who carry baptism-grade kemis and netela. Contact sellers directly via WhatsApp to confirm availability and arrange matching pieces for the whole family.
