About me / About business or organisation:

Soko is a women-owned, ethical accessories brand that is changing how fashion products are sourced from emerging markets, offering an innovative, ethical alternative to traditional models of accessories production.

Career history / Company history:

Soko was founded in 2012 as a platform for artisans to connect to the international market. Since then , the brand has grown into a vertically integrated virtual factory of sorts, working with over 2000 local artisans in Kenya working to produce quality ethical pieces for the Soko customer. We have always been driven by the impact our model and hope to build on it even further as the business scales.
