Hiwot Helen Desta

Local leatherwork and upholstery

  • 🇪🇹 Bahir Dar, Amhara, Ethiopia
  • Since 1983
  • English
My trade is leatherwork. I opened my own shop in 1983 in Bahir Dar and I'm still there most mornings. I can still tell good work from rushed work from across the street. I watch every football match going.

More about Hiwot

If I fixed something for you, I hope it's still holding.

Crafts and trades

What gifts mean to Hiwot: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
