Tivona’s designs are deeply rooted in African culture, blending traditional fabrics like Khanga and Kitenge with modern fashion. Each piece celebrates the rich heritage, craftsmanship, and vibrant spirit of African artistry, connecting the past with the present in every creation.

Tivona is committed to ethical fashion, using sustainable materials and supporting fair trade practices. We ensure artisans are paid fair wages, creating eco-friendly products that empower local communities and promote responsible production, while preserving cultural craftsmanship.

Tivona World began as a dream rooted in the humble villages of Kenya, where Suzanne learned invaluable lessons from her mother. Growing up, she would watch her mother skillfully weave traditional fabrics and craft beautiful, sustainable products by hand. It wasn’t just about creating clothing or accessories—it was about the stories embedded in each thread, the cultural heritage in every pattern, and the spirit of community that lived in every creation.

Her mother taught her the power of sustainability long before it became a global trend. “Use what the earth gives,” she would say, “and always leave enough for others.” In those simple words, Suzanne learned that the land, the materials, and the people were interconnected, and the value of fair trade and community support became the foundation of her work.

Years later, when Suzanne returned to Kenya, she saw the challenges local artisans faced. Many had lost their income, unable to sell their handmade jewelry, accessories, and home products due to the collapse of international markets. Yet their skills, passed down through generations, remained as rich as ever. Inspired by her mother’s legacy and her love for African craftsmanship, she knew what she had to do.

Tivona World was born, not just as a fashion brand, but as a movement. Suzanne began working with artisans in Kenya and across Africa, promoting sustainable fabrics like Khanga, Kikoi, and Kitenge, and creating unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry, accessories, and home products. Everything is done with respect for the environment and with a mission to give back through fair trade practices. Artisans are paid fairly for their work, allowing them to support their families, preserve their traditions, and live with dignity.

Today, Tivona World represents more than just beautiful products. It symbolizes a commitment to sustainability, community empowerment, and cultural preservation. Every purchase supports artisans in Kenya and beyond, helping them continue the legacy of their ancestors while providing for the future.

Tivona World’s mission is clear: to bring the beauty of African craftsmanship to the world while giving back to the communities that made it possible. Just as Suzanne’s mother taught her, every piece tells a story, every thread weaves a future, and every sale makes a difference. Together, we create a world where fashion, sustainability, and community walk hand in hand.

Through Tivona World, Suzanne carries forward the lessons from the villages of Kenya, weaving them into a brand that gives back in the most meaningful way—by empowering the hands that create.
