Soko is an ode to women everywhere to look beautiful and create powerfully. Female-led to connect Kenyan artisans with consumers, Soko is paving the way towards higher beauty standards. Every piece is designed in a rhythm of classic shapes to create the most iconic statement pieces. Every necklace, earrings, and bracelet bought will help reduce inequality and build a healthier, stronger community for Kenyan artisans.
Soko is a Certified B Corp. All their products are handcrafted by Kenyans and then sold through Soko’s virtual factory. To assure that artisans don’t solely rely on Soko, only 50% or less of an artisan’s total capacity will be sold by Soko.
Gwendolyn & Ella & Catherine created Soko as an ode to women everywhere. Standing up to the status quo, Soko is motivated to create a better future for the women of Kenya.
Soko makes the most out of their materials: (90%) recycled brass, recycled water during the silver’s electroplating process, local Mount Kenya clay for kazuri, horn and bone reclaimed from the food industry, and wood pieces taken from unused sources.
Soko connects artisans in Kenya to their global online market, allowing artisans to expand beyond their micro-economies and build their own workshops (making 5x more than they could alone).
