MEET SYLVESTER | KENYA
The Blacksmith from Nairobi. Our debut collection of brass is anchored in a strong sense of tradition, forged in the heart of Nairobi by our artisan partner, Sylvester. Hailing from a family of blacksmiths, Sylvester grew up inspired by his father who worked with metal to support their family. Now, as a father of five, Sylvester has carried this tradition forward—and we are honoured to introduce you to his handcrafted work.

Forged in the heart of Nairobi by our artisan partner, Sylvester, our debut collection of brass jewelry has been made from 100% upcycled brass—discarded taps, padlocks and old coins that would have otherwise ended up in the junkyard.
