Born from a dream to create a ‘global village’, Her Hands’ mission is to bring its customers beautiful products that support mothers from a vulnerable population to provide for their children.
Its Pendant Lights are handwoven by female artisans in a remote part of Southeast Kenya. Most weaving groups in the region go by the name of the area they are based in―this group call themselves ‘Mapatano’ which means ‘togetherness’ in Swahili.
The pendants are a labour of love from beginning to end―from stripping the sisal, to dyeing it using natural dyes from roots and plants, to weaving over 110 knots per square inch.
Each shade takes up to seven days to weave and is one-of-a-kind, respecting the creative direction of the weaver and weaving a little of their story and soul into each piece.
