the man behind the camera told for jebena merchants don't give her the discount ,don't take him again with you to any place he doesn't seems good.take care lady

[@shimesami]

@9:30 The lady was telling him to stop recording the design cloth's since it's her Job (She only want to sell it). She had no camera rule. Since these cloths(design) are hand made, they are usually worried you'll just take a pic and order it somewhere else for cheap price (as many ppl do). And he was telling her that it's good for her marketing but in reality she's right b/c if you have very nice design ppl will just take pic and order it somewhere else and you don't get paid for your design effort.

[@michaelyeshiwas4855]

The cloaks ('kabba' in the local tongue) are actually very ancient traditional clothes which used to signify a noble birth or royalty. Now a days, nearly everyone wears them for certain occasions such as weddings, anniversaries or even holidays.

[@africanstoryteller]

Interesting! each time I see them they evoke the image and stories of Haile Selassie to me

[@michaelyeshiwas4855]

@@africanstoryteller Exactly, Haileselassie had several pictures wearing this cloaks. But the tradition stretches back thousands of years.

[@addisababanazareth1525]

I love how you bargain! We Africans are one and the same.

[@addpuppets9326]

lol .. . I heard some of the owners asking why you're recording. I am sure you convinced them you're advertising what they're selling. You're very good at negotiating the prices . . . besides I don't think nobody wants to over charge you if they know they're on camera. Better yet, you can ask for discount because you're promoting their shop.

[@samumele5467]

you are always positive.thank you as ethiopian!

[@Arayamk]

They are saying you can’t take a picture of the dresses design. People usually take a picture of the design they want and have it made at different place with a cheap price. So they are trying to protect their intellectual property.
