These beautifully handcrafted soapstone heart keepsakes are hand carved by Gusii artisans in Western Kenya and hand painted and etched by artisans in a Nairobi workshop.
Swahili Modern believes that adaptation helps traditional African craft forms thrive. Artisans can earn a living from the comfort of home by doing creative work, so they have options beyond seeking work in cities. Through export, skills inherited through generations, sometimes with deep-rooted cultural significance, continue to bring meaning, stability, and a sense of pride to entire communities.
