A soulful partnership

What began as a shared love for tradition and craft grew into the desire to partner with local artisans to co-design and make Kapu bags and share the art of weaving with the world. Each bag is rooted in tradition, shaped by human hands and made to create a connection between the weaver and the wearer. Our collections are produced in small batches, slowly and thoughtfully, using traditional weaving techniques to create pieces with meaningful designs that are unique and made to last.

  • ZIPPORAH

    Zipporah comes from a small village in Kitui, where she has been weaving since her teenage years. A gifted farmer and artisan, she brings warmth, laughter, and energy wherever she goes. Behind her vibrant personality is a deep respect and understanding for her craft, which she carries with both pride and skill.
    We are incredibly honored to have the opportunity to work with someone as talented, inspiring, and genuine as Zipporah.

    Janefer lives in Kitui, where weaving is more than a skill. She learned at her mother’s side.
