T&H Designs is a small jewelry and bag design business based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia started in 2007 by twin sisters, Tigist and Haimanot. The Gemini Trust, an organization dedicated to helping the families of twins, initially sparked the girls’ interest in making jewelry, and, since then, T&H has grown into a thriving business known for having the highest quality products and as a leader of the
Addis Ababa fashion industry. The twins are interested in growing both their business and community. Tigist and Haimanot have a special interest in helping disadvantaged women. In the past, the girls have trained women undergoing fistula surgery in jewelry making. More recently, T&H Designs has begun offering jobs to graduates of the Yaya Girls program – a program dedicated to helping young, vulnerable female runners find alternative career options to running. T&H Designs currently is selling their designs in Australia, Europe, and the United States, and T&H have begun selling their designs online.
