Seeking a way to combine the three main passions in her life; the human spirit, fashion, and social responsibility led medical doctor, Dr. Amy Demissew, to set up Universal Fashion Ethiopia, a company that produces a range of personal and interior furnishings that are hand-woven in Ethiopia. Amy sees fashion a universal theme in this world, noting that different culture have their own fashion identity uniting people, Amy who was born and raised in Ethiopia, now resides in the Netherlands; and remembers as a child designing and wearing her own creations. Amy sees fashion a universal theme in this world, noting that different culture have their own fashion identity uniting people. Through Universal Fashion Ethiopia Amy pays homage to the people and culture of Ethiopia, drawing inspiration from the diversity and long history of weaving in the country which is seen in the beautifully woven collection of luxuriously soft scarves, for men and women that are available in a range of colours ranging from bright to subtle and the ideal accessory for any season. The company also produces elegant cushions, table runners, and curtains.

Amy’s work in psychiatry has enabled her to study the human spirit closely observing that no matter how different we may appear at the core we have a common natural spirit of wanting to be happy whatever we do, and a desire to experience the meaning of life; a need that can be filled through serving others. Acknowledging the feeling of goodness that comes with helping others, Amy also believes in the need to teach others to help themselves as a way of creating a sustainable future, and by setting up Universal Fashion Ethiopia Amy hopes to contribute to the development of Ethiopian society by providing jobs, a good working environment and fair pay. The company also finances micro-credit opportunities to help those the company works with to achieve their dreams of setting up a small business and providing for their families in a responsible way rather than simply relying on handouts.
