PROCESS

Our upcycled denim journey begins with sourcing quality denim from Kenyan markets.

We carefully select the finest pieces, often finding just a few gems per bale. These jeans then become canvases for our unique designs.

We hand-draw patterns and entrust them to Maasai and Turkana women, who add intricate beadwork with their creative flair. After beading, each piece is cleaned, labeled, and ready for our store. When you buy from our collection, you’re not just purchasing denim—you’re embracing a story of craftsmanship, creativity, and connection.

THE STORY AND INSPIRATION

In an era of sustainability and circular fashion, our upcycled denim weaves together tradition and modernity. Denim, with its roots tracing back to the late 1600s and popularized in late 1700s America(U.S.), carries the legacy of generations.

Our journey began in 2017, merging Kenya’s Maasai and Turkana tribes’ timeless beadwork with the versatile fabric of denim. Each piece, revitalized and crafted with care, embodies a cultural tapestry of diversity and unity. Returning in 2022, our curator and designer embraced this evolution, blending past and present into a vibrant, sustainable story. Each stitch and bead not only reflects a rich heritage but also our commitment to social, environmental, and economic sustainability.

CARE FOR THE UPCYCLED DENIM

To care for your upcycled denim and ensure its longevity, we recommend hand washing or using the machine on delicate or sensitive fabrics settings with mild detergent

As these denim pieces have been selected to be of 100%  cotton and given new life with intricate beadwork, gentle care is the key to preserving their quality.

Always turn the denim inside out to preserve the beadwork. In the case of stubborn stains, you can carefully apply extra friction, taking care not to damage the beads or fabric.

By treating your upcycled denim with care and respect, you can extend it’s lifespan and even pass it down to future generations as cherished heirloom. With proper care, these pieces will continue to tell their story for years to come.
