Scarves
WHERE ARE THESE SCARVES MADE?
All scarves are made in Nairobi. However, the girls who make them are not from Kenya, but from all over East Africa. Each scarf comes with a tag with the name and country of origin of one of our artisans.
HOW ARE THE SCARVES MADE?
Each scarf is hand-dyed and designed by one of our artisans.
HOW ARE THE SCARVES NAMED?
You may have noticed that our scarves have names like Angie, Takuma, Yvette, etc. These are the names of the young women who originally created those designs. While the girls themselves may have moved on from our artisan collective, their scarf designs have remained and our artisans continue to produce them in different colors and styles.

Our artisans are part of the RefuSHE’s vocational training program where the refugee women and girls have the opportunity to learn leadership and business management skills through the design and production of hand-dyed scarves.
