Products and environmental impact
Indego Africa is carving out an ethical space for artisans in the retail industry and creating a more sustainable world for all. From local, raw materials to handcrafted, finished products - they're supporting the integrity of artisan-made goods and creating opportunities for the women who make them.
They partner with groups of artisan women in Rwanda & Ghana to create a range of handcrafted products that bring beauty into the world through modern design, time-honored techniques, and genuine artisan skill.
They reduce waste in production process by using recycled (and upcycled) materials, repurposed fabric scraps, and other salvaged textiles across our product lines, they schedule large batch cargo shipments from Africa to New York in order to reduce our carbon footprint, and pay our partners fair, consistent wages for their work.
