20.01.2022 Our commitment to being a zero waste studio means we use all of precious batiki offcuts for smaller projects. Today we made batiki gift bags for our Maasai earrings.

14.01.2022 Sold out of most of our East African Christmas collection before December, so we took a little trip together this weekend to Northern Tanzania to restock. If you want decorations and gifts made with heart, investing directly in artisans in East Africa, ethically traded through our sister store in Tanzania then don’t delay. Trade between East Africa and Australia is incredibly difficult this year and set to get harder. Invest in partnership with us in artisans in East Africa, and share the love this Christmas. #eastofafrica
