Two Finnish girls who want to design, combine modern Finnish design with traditional Kenyan weaving craftsmanship, use simple design with African-style rich colors, and produce household items that meet the public's use. This is Mifuko 's origin. However, these two girls did not stop there. While developing the brand, they brought deeper concepts in the process of design and production, so that Mifuko has a deeper concept behind the colorful woven bags that should be remembered, A reason to be cherished. Hand weaving is a common sideline for Kenyan women. The common sales channel is the local tourist market. What mifuko does is to cooperate with women's self-help associations in remote villages.
