Ethical
Inspired by the rich histories of African cultures, our brand ethically creates the most exceptional sustainable luxury goods. We employ highly skilled African artisans, who are paid a fair wage and receive benefits, to handcraft our clothing and accessories. Our artisans also receive healthcare and childcare benefits, ongoing skills development, and financial literacy training. When we produce outside of African communities, we give back a portion of our profits to support communities in African countries where our artisans live and work. More Socially Sustainable
Sustainable
To help protect the environment, our clothing factory partner in Kenya uses solar for 25% of their power, reducing CO2 emissions. Our partner is also 100% water independent, harvesting rainwater for all their water needs. We chose this 100% cotton, wax-printed fabric (Kitenge) because of its historical and cultural significance in Kenya and Africa. The double-faced fabric is printed in rich colors with a labor-intensive technique of applying wax resin before submerging the fabric in dye, creating a refined print. More Materials and Innovations
