Additionally, for each bag bought, we donate 2 books to rural school children in Kenya. Our aim is to create libraries in rural schools and provide access to books and knowledge for disadvantaged children.
A Vision Born in Difficult Times:
Chema Chetu was born during the COVID pandemic, a time when we reexamined our values and beliefs. We embraced the idea that not everything needs to be rushed, and profits should never come at the expense of human beings. Our commitment to providing top-quality products at fair prices remains at the core of our brand.
A Range of Inspiring Products:
Today, we offer a diverse range of products inspired by the feedback of our valued customers. Our skilled designers and craftsmen work meticulously, ensuring each bag is made with care and passion. At our workshop, slow fashion is practiced, with individual designers taking time to select the best leather and handcraft your bag with utmost dedication.
