What you can order
Habesha kemis for weddings, melsi and church · zuria and everyday dresses · netela and gabi · men’s traditional suits and shirts · children’s outfits for holidays like Enkutatash, Meskel, Genna and Fasika. If it can be tailored, you can request it.
Why order custom?
Off-the-rack habesha clothing rarely fits the moment or the person — a wedding kemis should be yours alone. Custom means your exact measurements, your choice of tilf and fabric, and a garment made by someone who understands what the occasion calls for. Every tailor on Habesha Diaspora Market is based in the UK, with fast tracked delivery across the UK and worldwide shipping for the diaspora everywhere — Europe, North America and beyond.
Common questions
How long does a custom order take? Most garments take 2–4 weeks depending on complexity — your quote includes the tailor’s timeline.
Do you ship outside the UK? Yes — custom orders ship worldwide with tracking. International delivery times and any customs handling are confirmed with your quote.
What if it doesn’t fit? Because it’s made to the measurements you confirm, we walk you through measuring carefully first. Tailors offer adjustment where sizing differs from confirmed measurements.
Can I supply my own fabric or design photo? Yes — attach photos and notes when you request your quote.
