The spirit of wanderlust,<br />
excitement, and playfulness are all<br />
present in this collection. And while<br />
KAHINDO represents luxury fashion,<br />
the brand is dedicated to creating social<br />
change through their SEW Sustainable<br />
Commitment; empowering women,<br />
closing the gender gap, paying fair<br />
living wages, and creating sustainable<br />
jobs in Africa for their global partners.<br />
Kahindo Mateene, the brilliant<br />
mind behind the brand says “...fashion<br />
is only as beautiful as the way I treat the<br />
female artisans and workers who help<br />
me create my line. That means focusing<br />
on sustainability and ethical work<br />
environments for my global partners,<br />
and using the KAHINDO brand as<br />
a vehicle to create equity and job<br />
opportunities for women. Together, we<br />
share the heart and soul of Africa with<br />
the rest of the world through fashion.”<br />
