thiopia has had a long history of making traditional, quality, hand-made crafts based on recycled and raw materials.
For centuries, craftsmen and women in the country have used manual looms (known as inzert in the local dialect) in order to spin plant fibers such as cotton, hemp and koba – a plant species indigenous to Ethiopia. These fibers and materials, in turn, have been relied on to create attractive, durable and useful products such as shoes and clothing.
Moreover, due to the country’s vast livestock culture, there has been an ever present resource for hides that innovators have relied on to develop new materials and everyday goods based on leather.
Furthermore, since the advent of automobiles in the country, Ethiopian artisans have incorporated modern technologies such as the rubber of used car tires in order to manufacture various handmade goods including the soles of footwear – or barabasso.

These creative workers, however, have often developed their skills and plied their trade in small-scale units without ready or direct access to the national or global market.
soleRebels has embraced the country’s craftsmen and women and utilized their rich and environmentally sustainable manufacturing tradition for handmade products to inspire new creations for a regional and international footwear market.
As Ms. Alemu said, “It’s always good if you start something new. It’s challenging [for] you [and it makes people] ask a lot of questions. Once you dare, it’s really good.”
Indeed, the SME has been able to revive and rejuvenate Ethiopia’s traditional crafts industry, expand and modernize its own product range and create well-paid jobs providing value-added, scaled production.
