" Born from adversity, inspired by craftsmanship, built by community."
Founded in New York City in 2020, Áwet New York is a celebration of identity, resilience, and creativity founded by Áwet Woldegebriel. Our garments reflect a modern yet classic aesthetic, inspired by the the inspirational Asmarinos & Asmarinas of Eritrea, designed for individuals who value sophistication and individuality.
" Always lookout for those with greatness in their hands."
The quote from my late father that started it all. Guided by my father's legacy as an Eritrean master tailor, I channel the spirit of Asmara into every design. We pay homage to the resilience and style of the this generation who valued democracy, justice, free thinking and hard work. Their outfits paid homage to a culture of Eritrean hard-work & perseverance, while showing a deep understanding of Italian tailoring.
