Craftsmanship, and purpose

OUR MISSION

Kipato is a Kenyan design-led brand that holds elevated African artistry, feminist values, and refined craftsmanship as central to its approach. We collaborate with women artisans trained in partnership with Azadi Community to create contemporary Kenyan jewelry, expressed through locally and sustainably sourced materials including brass, bone, horn, and wood.

Craftsmanship, and purpose

The Kipato-Azadi Story

Kipato is the social enterprise of Azadi Community, a survivor-led organization that supports women in rebuilding their lives. Through Kipato, Azadi is modeling a vision of economic justice that positions women as central in brass artisanship—an industry they’ve historically been excluded from—by paying a living wage and ensuring safe, dignified working conditions. Together, we are building a future where craftsmanship, and purpose go hand in hand.
