Swahili exists to create positive exchanges between African artisans and people around the world. With so many talented producers already earning income from our orders, we face the challenge to increase exposure to current artisans' work while also enriching our network with new faces and products.
Swahili is dedicated to African artisans; their skill, determination and sharing spirit define our company's operations. We envision a day when the channel between Africa and the world opens wide enough to bring prosperity and global appreciation to all African creators. Until then, we're perpetually Africa-bound, always on the lookout the best of modern handmade creations.
