Naropili Ushanga started in Nairobi, Kenya, as a home for the beadwork, colour, and craft that runs through everyday Kenyan life. We're dealers in beads, shanga belts, and Maasai-inspired clothing — plus traditional wedding attire for the big days that call for it, and mitumba pieces for everyone who loves a one-of-a-kind find.
Every piece that carries the Naropili name is handmade in Nairobi, Kenya. No two strands of beads sit exactly the same, and that's the point — each bracelet, necklace, and belt is threaded by hand, the traditional way, so it carries a little of the person who made it.
Handcrafted. Cultural. Timeless. That's the promise on the label, and it's the same promise in every order we send out, from Nairobi to wherever you are.
