We Are NBO is a handmade jewelry brand based in Nairobi, Kenya that leverages local artisan skills to make exquisite products with mostly reused or salvaged materials and tools diverted from the waste stream. Founder and designer Michael Ngathu approaches his work with artisans “from a post-empowerment narrative; the artisans are already empowered, and they only need work.” He pushes back against the narrative of underprivileged craftspeople, “We need them more than they need us. They are incredibly talented and ingenious. They are only limited in supplies of tools and materials to create beautiful pieces."

An in-store, permanent jewelry experience meant for bonding with your loved ones or treating yourself.
