The Story Behind Hamaji

Reigning from the East coast of Africa, Hamaji was born in Kenya in 2017 by designer Louise Neoma Sommerlatte. Their collections support local artisan families throughout the country with focus on woman empowerment in rural Kenya. Each piece is made with care in a workshop on the foot hills of Mount Kenya. All materials are sourced around the world- from spice trade markets in the middle East to nomadic desert festivals in northern Africa. Hamaji try to up-cycle collected vintage where possible, and otherwise use sustainably sourced natural fibres.

All of Hamaji gets stitched together at a small collective in Nanyuki called Mitumba Arts. It consists of 20 local artisans working together, mostly in creating items made from second hand clothes found at the ‘mitumba market’. All the profits are collectively shared between the artists consisting of tailors, upholsters, hand beaders and painters.

The Embroidery is done by a small group of 4 artisans that Hamaji work closely with in the Ngara slum of Nairobi; together they design and create the embroidery patterns, encouraging their creativity and supporting their small business in the mean time.
