Sseko Designs is a Fair Trade Certified fashion brand creating locally sourced and hand-made, quality products that are both beautiful and durable. From jewelry and apparel to footwear and leather bags, and coffee and unique home goods, there is something for every lifestyle and every taste.
Sseko is a Fair Trade Certified Fashion line that is owned and operated by women both here in the US and in Eastern Africa. We work with artisans in Kenya, Ethiopia and India, Peru, and SE Asia paying living wages for safe and dignified work for women in areas where that is not the norm. Our primary facility in Uganda has a dedicated group of full time employees as well as an annual class of 25-30 college-bound women who participate in our scholarship program for the 9 months between completing high school and beginning college. These women are our partners and are given the same benefits provided to our employees in the US - paid time off, maternity leave, health insurance...and even retirement plans. The products they produce are locally sourced and hand-made, quality products that are both beautiful and durable. From jewelry and apparel to footwear and leather bags, there is something for every lifestyle and every taste. How it's made matters.
