Story Behind the Art:

Kisii soapstone is one of the most well-known artforms from East Africa. A hand-carved piece of art from the Kisii region of Kenya is a real treasure. Soapstone is mined from the Tabaka Hills and then carved by talented artisans into many designs that are beautiful and some functional. Laborers work with shovels, picks, axes and machetes to carve out large soapstone chucks. The large pieces of stone are cut using pangas (large knives) and then brought to the workshop for carving and finishing. The soapstone from the Tabaka Hills come in a range of colors from white to pink to grey. As it is crafted, it goes through multiple stages of sanding and waxing which gives the soapstone a satiny finish. Each etching is intricately carved by hand.

Absolutely love this! The quality is way better than I expected for the price. It arrived super fast (only 3 days to my door), and it looks exactly like the photos—maybe even better in person. Already recommended it to two friends. Will definitely buy from here again!

This has quickly become one of my favorite things I own. It’s well-made, feels premium, and does exactly what it’s supposed to (and more). Shipping was quick, packaging was nice and secure, no damage at all. Customer service was also great when I had a quick question before ordering. 10/10, worth every penny.

I was a little hesitant at first, but wow—I’m so glad I pulled the trigger. It exceeded my expectations in every way: comfort, durability, style, you name it. Got here faster than promised, and it’s already getting tons of compliments. If you’re on the fence, just go for it—you won’t regret it!
