Salem's Ethiopia
Salem Kassahun's garden workshop-boutique is the gold standard for Ethiopian handicrafts: watch weavers, potters and jewelers at work, then shop scarves, baskets, leather and homeware of noticeably higher quality than the souvenir strips. Prices are fixed, fair, and support the artisans directly.
☀️ Local tip
It's a short ride from Bole Airport — perfect last-stop shopping before a flight; they can arrange a coffee ceremony if you ask ahead.
