Soapstone   |   Handbags   |   Beaded Items  

Hand carved with primitive tools, then sanded, polished and in some cases painted, our soapstone quality is unmatched. We source from the Kisii area of Kenya, which is well known for its soapstone.

Traditionally men carve the stones, while women polish the finished items to a lustrous finish that looks and feels great. More than 1000 artisans create these goods and the fair wages they earn allow them to support their families, access healthcare, and educate their children.

Candle holders and decorative hearts are among our most popular sellers and we also offer traditional styles such as the circle of friends and mother and child.
