…then get on the way now – Visit Kenya virtually
Fighting wanderlust with Urban Change Lab
Are you missing travelling as much as we are? Seeing other places like the warm indian ocean, interacting with nice strangers, getting surprised by new experiences like being chased by a mountain goat. That’s what we love, you too? We know, we can’t bring you out of the lockdown but we can add an experience to get you in the mood for your next trip…
With a simple idea you start your journey..
A simple sentence: “I would like a brown leather bag” and your conversation with your tailor in Kenya starts. She will ask you questions and together you will make your project.
A virtual trip to another continent… And if you want to go to Kenya anyway, just pick up your bag at your tailor (but we also deliver everywhere with DHL).
Hali Oduor’s idea
“A light tan leather duffle bag.
2 Short straps
1 long strap
and pockets inside..“
The realization, a journey
First, your tailor clarifies all questions with you. During the production, you get a direct insight via videos and photos and you coordinate.
Pick up by yourself or have it delivered
Hali Oduor did not receive her bag via DHL as planned, but picked it up herself in Nairobi from Claudia Kimani at the end of her virtual journey. Both options provide surprising insights.
The urban change lab experience is a unique one. As the client I was able to design my bag and be a part of the process hand in hand with the artisan. The whole experience and having my idea realized intrigued me and I wanted to meet Claudia, the artisan behind the bag. The Urban Change Lab has a great concept going and I enjoyed my experience with them.
