Love the dish itself. It would be perfect if it fit into my butter section of my refrigerator compartment but found another place to store it. Thanks for the great workmanship.

This is my third order from Swahili in the last 7 years. I love the colors and they last forever, even though I never take them off (hiking, swimming, etc.)..I also love that I always get compliments on them. The last batch I purchased for gifts. It is such an affordable way to buy a batch of 7 and give them as individual gifts! Love the company and the mission :)

This is the most beautiful nativity scene. The craftsmanship is amazing. Customer service was extremely helpful, as I was looking to purchase this for my aunt, and I didn’t see it on the site any longer, I reached out and they were very helpful and found one more in stock I was able to purchase. I was beyond thrilled. Everything I have purchased here has been so beautiful and well crafted. Thank you!!

Lois W.

I recently purchased this elephant as a baby gift. Not only is it absolutely delightful, but it comes with a little note explaining how it is made, by whom it is made, and how it benefits the women who are making these whimsical knit animals. Special thanks to Swahili Modern for making sure it got to me in the timeline I required!! Extremely happy with the product AND the customer service!

These baskets are well made and a beautiful color. They are larger than I anticipated ( despite sizes being stated on the web site) but I can always find a way to use them and help keep things better organized. I love these baskets.

These are elegant. Like the picture. I was actually going to use them in the kitchen, to dress it up, but they're too elegant for that, so I am using them in the bedroom, in lieu of a more traditional chest. They're great, they emanate a feeling of peace and repose.

A friend and I went to Kenya and while there we visited the Tea farms. The tea package is lovely and your special packaging with carved Zebra is very attractive to view. This package was purchased as a birthday gift for the individual who visited the Tea farms with me in Kenya. Thank you for providing such lovely products that help drive employment in that area of Africa. Lee Kellogg, U.S.A.
