The Nigist Kemis embraces the ultimate expression of Ethiopian royalty. Named after the Amharic word for “queen,” this Habesha kemis is a regal masterpiece that honors the enduring strength and effortless beauty of Ethiopian women.
Adorned with a striking vertical panel of hand-woven embroidery featuring traditional geometric motifs that represent identity, values, and heritage. The embroidery uses deep rust and shimmering gold threads, colors often associated with prestige, courage, and celebration.
Crafted from high-quality, authentic ivory Menen cotton, a hand-loomed fabric known for its soft texture and light, breathable feel. The dress features a floor-length, flowing skirt and an elegant neckline, designed to connect the wearer with the strengths of their foremothers.
Given its queenly name and design, the Nigist Kemis is the premier choice for Habesha weddings, Melse ceremonies, and holidays.
