At Swahili Modern, we follow fair trade principles, so we can offer our partners across Africa the means to strengthen their homes & communities by their own design. Artisans earn fair wages through creative work in their villages, without leaving home to seek work in cities. Traditional skills that have been passed down through generations continue to bring meaning, stability, & a sense of pride to artisans & entire communities.
Over the past two decades, we've worked to build a beneficial network of exchange between Africa & the world.
As members of the Fair Trade Federation, we adhere to business principles that empower artisans & their communities.
We love seeing our handmade African creations showcased beautifully in popular magazines & blogs.
