Habwa – Traditional Sitting Strap

Experience a traditional way of sitting with the Habwa.

The Habwa (Habwah) is a traditional Yemeni textile strap used during floor seating. Worn around the back and bent knees, it helps maintain the classic Ihtiba’ sitting position while providing comfortable support during gatherings, conversations, study, and extended periods of sitting on the floor. This tradition is particularly associated with Hadhramaut and Shabwah in Yemen.
