Our Story
At Shaba, our story is woven into every bag we create. It's a tale of heritage, hope, and the quiet power of hands that connect rural Kenyan artisans to the world.
What began as a dream to celebrate the beauty of Kenyan craftsmanship has grown into a movement. We believe in the wisdom of natural materials and the joy of creating something that truly lasts. Our bags are not just accessories; they are vessels of tradition, each one carrying a legacy of resilience and skill.
Every strand of sisal is harvested with care, and each weave tells a story of patience and artistry. Our designs celebrate the seamless blend of cultural heritage and contemporary style. But Shaba is about more than just bags—it's about people. We're dedicated to securing livelihoods for the talented artisans who create these pieces, helping communities thrive through sustainable trade. By choosing organic, local, and eco-conscious practices, we also care for our planet.
When you carry a Shaba bag, you're carrying a piece of Kenya. You are holding a connection between the past and the future, a promise that beauty and sustainability can go hand in hand. You become a part of this journey, helping these stories travel to new places and live on.
Welcome to our story. Welcome to Shaba.
