How we work
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 worldwide consumes less CO2 than driving to a nearby craftsperson with your car. Nevertheless we buy CO2 compensation certificates for your order.
100% Quality
We deliver and guarantee perfect quality. You get your item realized in direct contact and exchange with an experienced artisan in Kenya, Rwanda or Ghana. We make sure you get 100% quality.
Us in the media
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

The direct contact with “my” carpenter in Kenya was uncomplicated and very personal…The result is a high-quality, handmade one-of-a-kind item that now adorns my sideboard…more
