UnoEth partners with artisans in Ethiopia to craft handmade, classic, and versatile leather bags and accessories. Founded in 2015 by the father-daughter team of Xiomara Rosa-Tedla and Dagne Tedla, the concept came about after Dagne bought Xiomara a custom leather messenger bag as a gift on one of his trips to Ethiopia, where he was raised. The bag was a huge hit, and many of Xiomara’s friends and coworkers asked if they could pre-order bags for Dagne’s next visit. The duo began working with Ethiopian artisans to design, import, and sell leather goods, and UnoEth (which means ‘One Ethiopia’) was born.
