We (Ali and Alex) met in London. Ali was working in Corporate Finance and after a brief stint in Interiors I had just completed some voluntary work in Kenya when we decided to head off on around the world trip – this was in 2002.  First stop east Africa. From the outset we were inspired and humbled by the artisans we met and felt there was something we could do to work and support the artisans as well as providing a business opportunity for ourselves. Our passion for the environment and fair-trade practices as well as an interest in traditional crafts and interiors, combined to form the basis for Nkuku.

The original business plan was jotted down on the back of a paperback on a beach, and the name Nkuku was borrowed from a village we passed through in Zambia. The plan focused on the same core values that are maintained to this day: Ethical, Eco-Friendly and Handmade.
