Stories from around the world

Ali and Alex Cooke founded the British company Nkuku after a year-long round-the-world trip, having been inspired by the artisans and the beautiful products that they met along the way. They borrowed the name from a village in Zambia, and wrote their business plan on the cover of a paperback. Today, 17 years later, the business may have grown, but its values remain the same: ethical and ecological responsibility and handmade products. That is why the Cooks know all their producers—independent businesses, social projects and cooperatives from around the world—personally. This personal and individual dimension, coupled with the high quality of craftsmanship, is what makes each Nkuku product so captivating.
