“I’ve always had a weak spot for authentic home decoration pieces. Yet, it warms my heart and my home to know each piece has been made with 100% natural and upcycled materials and, most importantly, has contributed to empowering Tanzanian women. This collection has supported over 600 women, quite a few refugees. Each piece takes days to weave and invites us to connect with distant parts of the world from the comfort of our home.” Fabi Alvarez, Co-Founder Akili.
