2020 will forever be etched in our history as a year of uncertainty and challenge. It was during this time that I was reminded of the African name INIKO, meaning “born during troubled times.” And so, our story began.

What started as a passion project has grown into a small business creating quality, handmade home décor. Over the years, we have refined our craft and built meaningful relationships with other artisans. Each of our pieces is a result of skilled hands, creative collaboration, and a commitment to excellence.

At the heart of our mission is a desire to empower women by sharing our skills and creating opportunities. These incredible crafts women are single mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and friends who work together in supporting themselves and their families. Many of these talented women come from under-resourced communities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. But within them lies immense strength, resilience, and soul. These qualities shine through in every product we create together.

When you support our business, you are doing more than buying a beautiful, handmade item. You are investing in dreams, dignity, and the power of women working together to uplift one another.
