One of those moments that doesn’t quite feel real…

This week, UnoEth is exhibiting at our very first wholesale trade show: Shoppe Object in New York. 🤍

After 11 years of building this brand alongside artisans in Ethiopia, being here feels incredibly special. The past few days have been a whirlwind of setup, problem-solving, long hours, and very little sleep—but we’re having the best time.

We’re so grateful to @shoppeobject for creating a space that celebrates independent brands and the people behind them.

More behind-the-scenes, booth setup, and trade show moments coming soon. If you’re at the show, come say hi! ✨ taken in Starrett Lehigh Building 601 West 26th Street by @unoeth

10 years ago, our artisan partner started from his mom’s garage.

Meet our talented artisan partner, Muzeyen, whose journey from humble beginnings to now leading a large workshop and retail shop has been nothing short of inspiring.

Over nearly 10 years, your support has made this incredible growth possible, empowering dozens of artisans and keeping the tradition of handmade craftsmanship alive. Together, we’re building something beautiful.

Thank you for being part of this journey!

The 30% off sale came and went…and apparently, so did most of our Jima Crossbody bags!

We’re down to just a few of one of our longtime favorites, the Jima Crossbody.

Forest 🌲 Black 🖤 Walnut 🤎

Three colors. Three completely different moods. Same handcrafted-in-Ethiopia goodness.

We’re making room for what’s next, which means we won’t be restocking everything that sells through. So if you’ve had your eye on a Jima, consider this your gentle little nudge. 😏 taken in San Francisco Bay Area by @unoeth

A little language in your everyday. 💙

Our Alphabet Canvas Tote is inspired by fidel — the Ethiopic script used to write Amharic — with characters hand-stamped in blue across black cotton canvas.

It’s functional, yes. But it’s also a little piece of language, culture, and home that you get to carry with you.

For the market. For your laptop. For the books you definitely didn’t need to buy but bought anyway. 😉 Basically, wherever the day takes you.

And even better? She’s on sale right now. ✨

Last call for Hanna. 🤎

She’s been with us for a lot of chapters around here—and now we’re down to the last few.

The Hanna Tote is one of those bags that just works: roomy enough for your everyday (and then some), handcrafted from 100% Ethiopian leather, and finished with a handwoven cotton lining.

Pops and I are clearing a little space for what’s coming next 👀, which means once this batch of Hanna Totes is gone, that’s it for now.

And because we’d rather see her on your shoulder than sitting on our shelf… Hanna is 30% off through September 30. No code needed.

If you’ve been eyeing her, now’s the time. 👜✨

Regularly $218 → now $152.60

New face(s) just dropped. 👀✨

Meet our new Many Faces Cotton Zipper Pouch — a playful little piece made for all the things you somehow always need to carry. Makeup, pens, cords, everyday essentials… you name it.

Featuring the Many Faces print on natural cotton, it’s equal parts functional + artful — and just the right size to toss into your favorite UnoEth bag.

Now available at UnoEth.com⁠ for $18. And yes, she’s currently included in our 30% off Making Room sale. 😉 by @unoeth

If you’re new here, hiiii 👋🏾 I’m Xiomara—and apparently, I’ve never properly introduced myself.

I’m an Oakland-based entrepreneur, marketing consultant, and the co-founder of UnoEth— an ethically made accessories brand I started with my Pops over 11 years ago. We work with our artisan partners in Ethiopia (and beyond!) to create leather goods, accessories, home goods + more.

Outside of that, I’m usually somewhere between running a business, helping other founders grow theirs, lifting something heavy at the gym, traveling, hanging with my people, or sharing my very unsolicited thoughts about life in my late 30s.

Basically, there are a lot of tabs open over here 😂

If you’re new here, heyyyyy 👋🏾 Tell me what you do / what you’re building / what brought you to my little corner of Threads.

And since we’re getting acquainted… UnoEth is currently 30% off 👀 so if you’ve ever wanted to check out what my Pops and I have spent the last 11 years building, now would be a very good time. taken in Oakland, California by @unoeth

Found in Addis ✨

Pops and I came across these handwoven straw wall basket sets at a local marketplace earlier this year and had to share them with you all.

Each set has three sizes, and you can move them around however you want—on the wall, under a serving bowl, or as trivets and pot holders. It’s your world!

Small: 7.5 in.
Medium: 9.5 in.
Large: 11.5 in.

There are four colorways: Meadow, Forest, Onyx, and Fuchsia. 

Which one would you put in your space?

Five weeks. That’s how much time we had. 😅

Five weeks before @shoppeobject ShoppeObject, we got the opportunity to bring UnoEth to NYC for our very first trade show— and truthfully, we had NO idea how we were going to pull it off.

The inventory. The booth. The travel. The logistics. Getting everything (and everyone 😂) to New York. There were a whole lot of details to figure out and not a whole lot of time to figure them out.

But we said yes anyway.

And somehow, piece by piece, everything came together. 

The booth came to life exactly how we envisioned it. We met incredible buyers, fellow founders and new friends. We introduced UnoEth to so many new people, had conversations that left us excited about what’s next, explored NYC in between it all, and genuinely had the BEST time doing it.

It was hectic. It was exhausting. It was exciting. And it was absolutely worth the leap.

11 years into building this brand and we’re still being reminded that sometimes the opportunity comes before the plan.

You say yes. Then you figure out the how. 

Very chic, apparently. 😂 taken in New York City by @unoeth

IT’S BAAAAAACKKKK! 🎉

Our handwoven Aiyana Robe is in stock again, but this time in Teal!

Now, when we say ‘small batch’, we really mean it! Only a handful of these super soft, cotton beauties were traditionally woven on a handloom by our artisan partners in Addis Ababa.

So please, run don’t walk to UnoEth.com

11 years of UnoEth, packed into a few suitcases and one booth. 

A little behind the scenes of bringing our very first @shoppeobject booth to life — boxes, bags, tools, signage, steaming, styling, rearranging… and then rearranging it one more time. 😂

There’s SO much that happens before the doors ever open, and watching a blank space slowly turn into our little corner of UnoEth made all the hauling, planning and long days worth it.

Our first trade show is officially in the books, and we’re leaving NYC tired, grateful, inspired, and very excited for what’s next.
