Who made it?

The artisans behind your product

A hand holds a small geometric bird-shaped ornament or pendant suspended by a thin silver string against a dark background, with another hand reaching toward it.

Our partner

Our partner is a women-run, Finland-based Fair-Trade and B-Corp certified group who has been working with artisans in Kenya for over two decades. Their artisans make wonderful basketry and also craft these lovely ornaments made of Jacaranda wood.

An ode to nature

Kenya is famous for its wildlife, but its birdlife is just as spectacular. More than 1,000 species live here, and they catch your eye from the very first moment: the shimmering blues of the superb starling, the rainbow plumage of the lilac-breasted roller, and the intricate woven nests of the weaver birds hanging from acacia branches.

From the Savannah to the Lakes

Our Kenyan Birds set and several of our Spring Birds are inspired by the species found across Kenya’s landscapes, from the savannah to the lakeshores. Each one is hand-carved and hand-painted, so no two are exactly alike.
