JOHARI





We are proud to introduced a new unique fashion brand called JOHARI. They make hand-crafted clothes and jewellery from locally sourced materials and skills within Kenya. Most importantly and whats makes this beautiful and easy to wear label so unique is that 100% of the profit is reinvested back into community programmes they have set up, such like apprenticeship schemes that provide opportunites to vunerable young women- teaching them skills to build a living for themselves and their families.
Here are some quick pictures of this fantastic label.
