Her Hands was launched in December 2020 from a dream to create a ‘global village’ – one where consumers can buy beautiful products that financially empower women from a vulnerable population.
Recently added to its range of handmade pieces for the conscious consumer, these pendant lights are one-of-a-kind and handwoven by female artisans in south east Kenya – providing sustainable employment where it’s needed most, and helping to transform communities.
Bringing the perfect touch of texture to any space, the pendants make a statement on their own, or when hung together as group.
There are three Collections in the pendant lighting range – Coastal, Caramel and Nomadic – and they are available in Small, Medium or Large (RRP $250-$370).
The handcrafted lights respect the long held tradition of the Taita people who weave them, and the creative process of the individual weaver.
Her Hands is committed to providing the women with a sustainable income from weaving so they can become less dependent on subsistence agriculture. Agriculture is unreliable in the semi-arid area where they live, where the absence of rain regularly destroys complete harvests.
“Being a mother brings me so much joy. I enjoy watching my children grow. The profits I make from weaving I use towards paying my children’s school fees and food. My favourite thing about the weaving group is the unity within the weavers, there’s no hostility between us. I hope life will change for the better!” says Rufence Talu, Weaver.
