Lunalu Loves LemLem

Friday 2nd April 2010

We absolutely love LemLem, a brand by Liya Kebede. They only do children’s collections for Spring/Summer so be sure to snatch up some goodies this season!

About Lemlem:
Lemlem n 1 hand made in Ethiopia from natural cotton. /lem:lem v 2 [Amharic] bloom, flourish. 3 [history] Since ancient times in the land of the Queen of Sheba, the Ethiopian people have adorned themselves in beautiful hand woven and hand embroidered clothing. The hand spinning of cotton and intricate embroidery was the work of women while the hand weaving was done mainly by men. It is our wish to bring to you an incredible handwork and help preserve this ancient art form by creating opportunities for the Artisans. Because many of our pieces are hand woven and hand spun, natural variances may occur adding to their uniqueness and beauty.
