PAMOJA [Together]
We believe our love our travel and global trade is the perfect opportunity to connect us, wherever we are in the world.
Our journey can be an investment in one another, through creating creative, ethical employment.
We can treasure one another, to share our talents and to choose to collect handcrafted items. From our clothing to our shopping bags, our jewellery to our tea and coffee, to our gifts and homewares, we can choose handmade one of a kind products.
A thousand small choices add up. Little by little our trade becomes transformative. Our investment in products engages passion and innovation, and creates new projects. Employment becomes sustainable, safe, empowering, unique and meaningful. Choose to be a change maker, choose to support makers and creators.
Invest in beautiful products and hardworking communities.
Introducing our Beaded Batiki Africa Pouch. Featuring custom hand crafted Batiki made for us by Esther in Tanga, Tanzania. The heart of our work is to connect you to talented East African artisans, and for you to know them by name.
The connections we make on our journeys is fundamental to our interconnected stories.
We are inviting you to participate in our training of our team of women for our Kukua Pamoja :: Growing Together project we are establishing in the village in Tabora, rural central Tanzania. Our beading project will begin with you - your identity is fundamental to our beginning. We are creating unique beaded products to learn the skill of intricate design. Your purchase of a handcrafted bag will fund our team training. The project is viable and the women are ready, the seeds have been planted and we are ready to put in the work to take this idea and make it grow.
Our AFRICA bags are premium and created to be treasured forever.
Each bag is created by hand from premium glass Japanese Miyuki beads, stitched onto a lush heavyweight German linen. This is paired with our direct trade hand stamped and and hand dyed batiki and our deluxe designer denim. The bag is padded and has a draw string closure. Lined with deluxe linen/cotton.
The bag measurements are:
