Crafting Kenya

We are a Nairobi-based product development company fusing heritage craftsmanship with sustainable manufacturing. We specialize in developing differentiated products for retail (fashion, sports merchandising, and decor), hospitality brands, and corporate and events gifting. Our comprehensive services include design, R&D for new product development, prototyping, sourcing, and production. Beginning as a research and mapping project for Kenya’s heritage production techniques and raw materials, we are now on a mission to partner with global brands to unlock unprecedented innovation and economic opportunity held within Kenya’s production and materials heritage, while ensuring alignment with a technology-driven future. Leveraging our in-house technical capabilities, a proprietary research database, and a nationwide network of partner makers and materials producers, we offer a one-stop shop for taking your ideas from concept to finished products. We manage everything for you, eliminating the hassle and headaches. Our approach is Glocal, seamlessly blending a keen understanding of the local context with global design trends and quality standards. Customization is innate to our process, ensuring alignment with brand and target audiences. As a brand driving for high impact, we are guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 8 - Decent work and economic growth, SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, SDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production, and UNESCO’s Right to Culture.
