Nairobi


This place collaborates with workshops and self-help groups around the country. It’s a bit like a handicrafts version of IKEA, with goods displayed the way they might look in a living room. There are some appealing items, including carpets, wall hangings, ceramics, baskets, clothing and wooden bowls.

Shoppers can also treat themselves to afternoon tea at the cafe.
