Read moreWe believe in empowering artisans with a sustainable income through craft. Our mission is to connect artisans to significant global markets and help improve their livelihood by bringing their unique products right to your doorstep.All of our products are made by a talented team of African artisans. We currently work with master artisans from Ghana, Kenya, Burkina Faso and Senegal. Each community is unique and we foster collaboration by inviting local communities along on our journey.
Safi's jewelry artisans recycle brass, a metal alloy made with copper and zinc. The artisans also use responsibly sourced reclaimed wood and cow horn, a byproduct of the food industry, that would otherwise be thrown out.
No intermediaries and no wholesalers. So no excessive margins. It's just between you and us. And this is what allows us to offer you a quality product at an affordable price. Welcome to the fashion of the 21st century.
Each product is expertly handcrafted by African artisans.They incorporate traditional techniques and designs that have been passed down from generations of highly skilled artisans.
You are an indispensable partner in our cycle of supporting and uplifting artisans in Africa. A portion of the proceeds from your purchases provides free learning toolkits through the safi craft kit app for artisans. This helps them to improve their craft and and create employment opportunities.
We only work with the best leather, chosen in collaboration with our artisan partners. Made in Africa.
Our artisans are at the heart of everything we do. Every piece they make is a celebration of uniqueness, with materials drawn from their native earth, patterns and textures that embody their culture and values, and colors that express their inner spirit.
We celebrate the craft, we celebrate the people.
Through our business practices, we aim to contribute towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals of No Poverty, Decent Work & Economic Growth, Reduced Inequalities, and Responsible Consumption and Production.
We stand on the pillars of design, tradition, and inclusion. As a social enterprise, we work with communities in Africa to bring beautifully handcrafted pieces into the global market.
