About us : ARTSAN COLLECTIVE

ARTISAN COLLECTIVE LTD., is a Kenyan company that is specialized in slow fashion, established in 2019.

The company has three distinct brands under the umbrella: nomadic artisan (women’s wear), Hayan Collection (men’s wear), and My Little Samurai (baby and kids’ wear).

Each brand has its own unique style yet operated under the common theme of creating one-of-a-kind piece.

All garments are currently produced by five seamstresses, under the design created by Nairobi-based designer duo ARTISAN COLLECTIVE - Ayumi Awil-Taki and Rayzak Awil.
Although the company is small, family-owned and is still new, its brand recognition in Kenya is growing rapidly.

In 2022, a trending multi brands store, African Lifestyle Hub in The Village Market, one of the largest shopping malls in Kenya, has started showcasing nomadic artisan.

And in the same year, the company opened its flagship store,  ARTISAN COLLECTIVE STORE in the busy neighborhood of Nairobi. Not to mention, Hayan Collection has gained many celebrities interest, and is worn by International musicians such as Stephen Marley, Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Anderson. Paak, and K’naan.  And their store and pop-ups in Kenya are visited by many Kenyan musicians, influencer, artists, and creatives. As a multi-cultural Kenyan fashion house, our goal is to be a world-class fashion brand.

In the near future, we are planning to do pop-ups in North America, Europe, Japan, and are also aiming to participate in fashion weeks.   

 Each and every day, we strive as a team to create a garment that is carefully crafted, with attention to finer details.
