Where Nordic Design Meets African Craft.
At The Phoenix, we’re thrilled to feature Mifuko, a beautiful fusion of Nordic design and African craftsmanship. Founded by Mari Martikainen and Minna Impiö, two friends who met while studying Textile Art and Design in Finland, Mifuko brings modern Scandinavian design together with traditional Kenyan handicrafts in a stunning collection of women’s accessories.
Mifuko’s commitment to slow consumption, fair trade, and handmade products is something we deeply admire. By working directly with over 1,350 women artisans in Kenya, Mifuko not only creates beautiful, functional baskets but also empowers these women, providing them with sustainable livelihoods that improve the lives of their families and communities. Mifuko’s business practices are rooted in sustainability and transparency, with the designers and artisans maintaining an open and supportive relationship.
We love Mifuko because their mission to support women and promote fair trade aligns perfectly with our own values. Their beautiful, handwoven baskets are not just accessories—they’re stories of empowerment, sustainability, and the intersection of art and craftsmanship. With Mifuko, you’re not just buying a product; you’re supporting a movement that’s changing lives and making a positive impact..
