Company Focus: Katchy Kollections limited is an innovative social enterprise dedicated to empowering women and whole communities to rise above poverty through employment creation, thereby fighting and restoring hope among Kenya’s less privileged.

The quality of the products compared to what was then in the market was much better and registered very high consumer acceptance. It then became clear to the proprietors that there was indeed a good business opportunity and we then proceed to register the company and make regular production runs but still on small scale. Following this, we went out on further market research and found good reliable suppliers for raw materials (beads and leather) and enlisted a number of regular retail customers.

Price Point: Our price point is within the range of FOB $3 - $150 per piece. The more expensive pieces are the bespoke beaded jewellery pieces.

Social Impact:  While Katchy is inspired by a desire to design, create and produce high quality bags, fashion apparels as well as beaded accessories, we work with the aim of creating employment for the disadvantaged women living in the slum areas within Nairobi, as well and women at the village level. We believe that, when equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help lift whole families and entire communities out of poverty.
