Born out of a love of travel and exploration, Ali and Alex founded Nkuku on thier world wide trip, starting in East Africa. They found artisans and makers from around the globe, and worked with them to bring back their designs to the UK. The original business plan was jotted down on the back of a paperback on a beach, and the name Nkuku was borrowed from a village they passed through in Zambia. The plan focused on the same core values that are maintained to this day: Ethical, Eco-Friendly and Handmade.
