Girum means “wonderful” in Amharic — and that is the standard we hold every piece to. Girum Leather makes bags, jackets, shoes and small goods in Addis Ababa from Ethiopian hides, finished by hand.
Why Ethiopian leather
Sheep and cattle raised in Ethiopia's highlands produce hides that are dense, fine-grained and naturally supple. Highland sheepskin in particular is prized by leather makers around the world for its softness and strength.
Made with Light Leather College
We work alongside Light Leather College, an accredited TVET training institution in Addis Ababa teaching Leather Goods and Garment Production. Selected pieces made by trainees are inspected by our craftspeople and sold under the college label, so every sale helps train the next generation of Ethiopian makers.
Our promise
- Genuine leather — never bonded or PU.
- Every piece inspected before it ships.
- 14-day returns and a 1-year craftsmanship guarantee.
