KIPATO UNBRANDEDÂ
PRESS KIT
ABOUT KIPATO UNBRANDED Kipato Unbranded is about beauty and unique designs. We create jewelry that is inspired by '"everyday people and for everyday people''. Our pieces are made from local materials that include brass, recycled bone, and beads. Kipato is the Kiswahili word for income. This underscores the social justice core of the social enterprise. From its beginnings, 50% of the profits, whether sold internationally or locally, go directly to the artists. Kipato Unbranded is adaptable and ethically responsible. The collections are designed to be versatile; suitable as much for a high profile journalism award event as for a casual Saturday afternoon with friends.
Kipato Unbranded was founded in November 2015. Since then it has received media attention including features on television programming, publications in media houses both in print and online, blog features, and showcased in high-profile events. Below are excerpts from selected highlighted features, both in Kenya and internationally.
