Coast Zanzibar Curio Shop

They sell the wide range of products from clothes, jewelry, art and handicrafts. All handmade in different countries in Africa. Each item is unique. All of them make beautiful presents, to give or to receive.

They sell and exhibit the hand made products produced by hardworking Kenyan and other African craftsmen and artists, who have been designing beautiful and unique African art and crafts e.g. abstract soapstone, wooden African tribal masks, African and animal walking canes, and Maasai and wildlife handicraft carvings for years.

This is their family business and they transfer the talent and knowledge which is passed on from one family generation to the next. Not only do these African art and crafts serve as beautiful home décor but they also relay much about their African culture, heritage, and history.

Most Kenyan and other African artists and craftsmen work through an artisans union, who promote and price their African art and crafts in the market. Most of the times these African art and crafts face challenges at various stages in delivery due to competition, middlemen, quotas, and other overhead costs causing market forces to significantly increase the price, which in turn works against the intended purposes.
