SOKO is a women-led, people-first ethical jewelry brand and tech-powered manufacturing platform built to connect artisans in Kenya with the global market.
The artisan craft sector is the second-largest employer in the developing world, yet it is also one of the most marginalized. Limited to local sales, millions of talented artisans are trapped in micro-economies, unable to earn enough to support their families. With an unbounded entrepreneurial spirit and a willingness to try new things, Kenyans are ready and well-positioned to disrupt old patterns of poor infrastructure and economic hardship.
SOKO's supply chain innovation uses mobile phones to connect independent artisan entrepreneurs directly to their team and global customers, which allows artisans to receive orders and payment. Their virtual factory standardizes manufacturing in an informal environment and provides artisan leaders with the tools and resources to preserve and improve heritage techniques to scale.
The Karamu Statement Bangle is a bold take on a classic silhouette that you’ll be sure to love for years to come. Stunning ethically sourced bone is cut into confetti-like discs and hand-dyed in a striking color palette. Handcrafted by artisans in Kenya with 24k gold plated brass using traditional techniques. Karamu means party in Swahili.
This item is made from natural materials meaning it is one-of-a-kind and colour may vary.
