Father's Day 2020 Gift Guide
Father’s Day is right around the corner so we thought we’d gather some of our favorite things from the Hope Artisan Collective - things we think the dad…or dad figure…in your life is sure to love.
ethiopian leather wallets and card holders
Who doesn’t love the smell of leather? These leather wallets and card holders are hand crafted by artisans working in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The name of their brand, Darago, is actually the name of their father and means “going far”. The quality in construction is undeniable. Both of my teenagers have been using these wallets for years and I can tell you they hold up beautifully. They really do get prettier as they age. (And, ladies - if you are looking for an amazing bag that will have all of your friends swooning, pop over to the Collective and check out the leather bags. We know, we know - this is a dad-centric post…but it never hurts to look … and, you’re welcome. ♥︎)
Ethiopian Leather Wallets & Cardholders
ethiopian cotton bath sheets
Now, bear with us on this one. We know that a bath sheet may not be the first thing you think of when you think of Dad. But you MUST trust on this … he will LOVE it! These beauties are loom-woven by artisans in Ethiopia (if you’d like to learn more about the organization, you can click here). They are light weight and great to take along when traveling or on business trips. They are made of 100% Ethiopian cotton - light as air and dry in a snap. They are ultra absorbent and free from that musty smell that is sometimes associated with heavy towels.
From the campsite to poolside, this towel is a must have. Whether the dad in you life is practical or enjoys a little luxury, he’s sure to fall head over heels once you introduce him to the bath sheet.
And, to sweeten the deal just a bit more, we are GIVING AWAY one of these lovely hand-carved, hand-dyed, bone bottle openers with every purchase of an item featured in the gift guide. (Offer good while supplies last)
Using a natural resource left over from the meat-packing industry in Kenya, these bottle openers are all unique in design and allow artisans in rural Kenya to earn a dignified salary.
Regardless of what you choose, we’re certain the father in your life will appreciate the power behind your purchase. He gets a gift as unique as he is AND knows the purchase directly supports artisans in Africa. What a wonderful gift indeed.
