Our Story
Our Mission
Our mission at Baby Gabi is to share the beauty and heritage of Ethiopia with the world through our handmade baby blankets. By offering a product rooted in tradition and crafted with intention, we hope to create something more than just a blanket—we want to give families a piece of art, woven with love and care.
The Essence of Gabi
In Amharic, the word Gabi means blanket, a term that embodies warmth, love, and cultural significance in Ethiopia. As you venture through the vibrant streets of Ethiopia, you’ll find Gabis draped effortlessly over shoulders, used as swaddles for newborns, and even hung as decorative elements in homes. Each Gabi is handwoven from handspun Ethiopian cotton, often showcasing intricate designs and vibrant colors, representing not just a product but a way of life.
At Baby Gabi, we aim to bring this rich heritage to families around the world. Our blankets are crafted using the traditional Shemena weaving technique, ensuring that every piece reflects the skill and passion of the artisans behind them. The Tibeb patterns woven into the corners add a unique touch, making each Gabi a one-of-a-kind treasure.
Why Us
Beyond comfort, Gabis are symbols of security and belonging. For children, these blankets represent love and warmth, cherished throughout their lives. For those who have journeyed far from home, a Gabi serves as a powerful reminder of their roots and culture.
When you choose a Baby Gabi, you’re not just purchasing a blanket; you’re embracing a legacy, connecting to the heart of Ethiopian culture, and supporting artisans who pour their craft and passion into every thread. Join us in sharing this beautiful story and bringing a piece of Ethiopia into your home.
