We only do single items

Every item from us is unique and custom made for you. That means your item will be as unique as you and your artisan.

Fair & Transparent

We provide a fully transparent shopping experience. You get all details about who earns what. You even get the phone number from your craftsman to double check.

CO2 neutral delivery

Shipping your item to your doorstep consumes less CO2 than driving to a nearby craftsperson with your car. Nevertheless we buy CO2 compensation certificates for your order.

Made in Africa

You get your item realized in direct contact and exchange with an artisan in Kenya, Rwanda or Ghana.

It is super easy – just describe your idea

No matter if you like “a green leather bag, 30cm high” or “a cutlery tray, 50 by 45 by 10 cm” or a “piece of art“, whatever it is, just describe it and our expert will ask all the relevant questions to help realize your idea

direct communication with the craftsmen, excellent quality and great value for money. The long delivery times don’t bother me, because I know that “collected” shipping will be done and resources will be saved. Highly recommended!
