We partner with Artisan Businesses in Uganda that are creating jobs for Artisans in their communities. Our first Partners, Jalia and Daniel, have grown their business to provide fair work to hundreds of local assemblers and bead-rollers. Another Partner, Sseko Designs, employs female scholars and women from all walks of life. Moms, daughters, designers, and cooks, all working together to make the world a little brighter.
Our Ugandan Artisan Partners create pieces out of several materials including oiled leather, cactus leather, paper beads, and ethically sourced horn. Their work is where art and precision meet-a careful cut here, a touch more blue there-to create consistently beautiful bags and accessories. Bead-makers hand mix each dye color and check every bead for quality. As the oiled leather pieces take shape and absorb other oils, they darken to become more beautiful and storied over time.
