Chloe Stewart Collective makes refined, embroidered homeware hand stitched by women in Nairobi’s Kayole Soweto settlement, where over 70% of households live on less than one dollar a day. With daily realities shaped by poverty, limited education and high rates of violent crime – including kidnappings, armed robberies and child trafficking – women and widows are often excluded from stable employment.

Working in partnership with UCESCO Africa’s Skylit Centre, Chloe Stewart Collective equips local women with professional-level embroidery training and fairly paid work on products like tablecloths, napkins, lampshades and custom pieces.

With every stitch, traditional Kenyan embroidery becomes a source of income, pride, cultural preservation and community connection. Women earn a sustainable wage and gain access to education – covering English, accountancy, family health and art workshops for their children. This holistic programming forms a pathway away from poverty, rooted in skill-building and dignity.

Each piece is design-led and ethically made to order, drawing on bold motifs and vibrant colour palettes rooted in Kenyan craft. Collaborations with hospitality and interior design partners sit alongside individual commissions – bringing slow, considered production to a wider audience.
