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: Kiswahili word for income. This underscores the social justice core of the enterprise. We ensure that our artists to are empowered by their work and receive fair wages for their creativity.

From its beginnings, 50% of any of the profits from the artist's work, whether sold in international or local markets, goes directly to the artist, creating a model that is sustainable and fair to them. In addition, 2% of the company profits are channeled to One People Trust Foundation, which supports not for profit work in the artists’ communities.

2. We are “unbranded” because we are focused on creating jewelry by everyday people, for everyday people. We believe that beautiful Kenyan jewelry should not be out of reach for Kenyans and Africans on the continent, and therefore are striving to create an enterprise that is accessible and approachable.

3. Our brand is also adaptable, simple, and ethically responsible- the collections are designed to be versatile, suitable as much for a high profile journalism awards event as for a casual Saturday afternoon with friends.

4. Our products are created from recycled products, and our packaging and operations are eco-friendly, making it an environmentally responsible enterprise as well.

Kipato Unbranded is about simplicity, accessibility and empowerment.
