This week we’ve rounded up some of our favorite pieces from Kenya… all unique, stunning and handmade!
Masai Beaded Bracelets: Last winter I came across these very cool and stylish tribal beaded bangles handmade by Masai women in Kenya. They come in a variety of patterns and vibrant colors that look great when mixed and stacked on your wrist! Shop all bracelets here!
Kenana Stuffed Animals: These stuffed animals are not only incredibly adorable, but also carry with them an inspiring story. Each one is unique and signed by the woman artist who created it using all natural materials. At the Kenana farm, these women are given the opportunity to learn a trade and provide for their family. Each purchase helps these hardworking women send their children to school. Shop all stuffed animals here!
Giraffe Head Sculpture: For all of the art lovers out there – this one’s for you… This giraffe head was sculpted out of locally recycled scrap metal in Nairobi. This bold and exotic accent piece will truly enhance your home. Shop all metal sculptures here!
Twisted Wood and Bone Salad Servers: These olivewood salad servers add a wonderful aesthetic to your dining room table. In fact, they bring back memories of dining in the Mara while on safari. I love it! Shop all salad servers here!
