Our Promise
Local is durable. We strive to be environmentally responsible in the production of all our products. We use a range of natural fibers indigenous to the countries where we work, sourcing our materials from local markets and farms where our partners live and work. Materials that cannot be sourced locally are sourced consciously, prioritizing pan-African trade, quality and sustainability.
Celebrating CraftsmanshipCraft Matters. Each of our products, from weaving to woodcarving, is handcrafted using time-honored, heritage techniques. We collaborate with our artisan partners to create products that celebrate their talent, share the beauty of traditional African artistry, and showcase our dedication to high-quality, modern design. Our artisan partners take pride in creating our handmade products, and their skill ensures the reliable quality of our brand.
Transparent PartnershipsOur artisan partners work with us, not for us. We build long-term transparent partnerships, working collaboratively to determine fair pricing and ensure they have the resources to deliver beautiful and consciously crafted products to consumers around the world. Together, our partners make up 20+ primarily women-owned artisan businesses in Rwanda, Ghana, and Refugee Camps.
Long-Term ImpactOur artisan partners have big dreams and big plans. We invest in their education because we believe in their ability to achieve (and exceed) their goals. We entrust our partners with the innovative designs, advanced skills training, and the market access needed to start careers and grow their own businesses. When women are financially and emotionally supported, they become powerful engines of growth for their families and communities.
