Artisan Update
Artisan Update November 2022:
We just returned from East Africa to bring the first of our FW22/23 collection to the USA.
Our artisans are always paid in full for their collections and work, but many have continued to be without work for in the last two years with their local economy being shut down and they have severely lacked local business this year once again.
We have no paid USA staff, so your purchases during this time continue to allow us to loan our artisans finances for their shop rentals, small micro-loans, school fees for their children and also for supplying meals for communities in Kenya. We also partner with a non-profit in a variety of other projects helping women and children.
After waiting over a year due to supply chain issues, we were able to get more of our brown color leather back in stock to create some of your favorite pieces. Thank you for your patience during this time. It was worth waiting for the right color to keep with our customer's collections.
We appreciate all of our wonderful customers. Thank you for continuing to support us during this time.
