Ethnic Supplies specialises
in handmade bags, fashion
accessories, art and crafts
from East Africa.
In many African countries
women are still
marginalized, excluded from
education and formal
employment but retain
responsibilities for
ensuring that the family is
clothed and fed.
Ethnic Supplies supports
women in the East African
countries of Kenya, Uganda,
Tanzania and Madagascar by
sourcing handmade
handicrafts and fashion
accessories from suppliers
that support women to be
financially independent or
directly from established
women's groups in rural
locations.

aims of ethnic supplies
Ethnic
Supplies was formed to
promote independence for
East African women who are
involved in textile and
handicraft production.
We work
very closely with our
producers to bring you the
customer the very best
handmade handicrafts and
fashion accessories created
using natural materials and
methods. The women we work
with are almost always
excluded from any form of
employment and this is their
only source of income, so
buying our products provides
valuable income to these
women.
We identify our
producers through a referral
system, and before we begin
working with them a company
representative visits them
to assess the integrity and
the work of the groups
concerned. Our prices are
determined by the women
themselves - they tell us
the price, and that's what
we pay!
do you
have fashion experience? -
can you help?
Many of the african
women do not have experience
of Western fashions and
could do with some help to
adapt their crafts to be
suitable for the European
market. If you feel you
could help in any way,
please contact Ida Horner by
email or phone (contact
details above).
