“Honestly, I thought about mass producing Elleca jewellery abroad several times, because it would just be “easier”.
But then I keep reminding myself why I want to produce in Africa,
in Kenya 🇰🇪.
We’re so skilled & talented as a continent, that I wouldn’t need to go anywhere else for production.
The ability to work with local artisans has honestly been a gift. There’s just something so special and unique about handmade pieces. My dream is to bring African art in the form of jewellery to the world, on our terms this time 😉.” – founder Anita Elleca CEO
Our vision is to empower local artisans with sustainable business opportunities for them to showcase their craftsmanship to the world.
