A curated house of authentic Kenyan goods — food, spices, fashion, footwear, jewelry, and homeware — shipped with intention from Nairobi to Everett, Seattle, and across the United States.
From single-origin coffee and pantry spices to handwoven textiles, leather footwear, jewelry, and homeware — each piece is sourced directly from Kenyan makers.
Hello Friday was founded on a simple belief: the most beautiful things in the world are made by hand, with intention. From spices and coffee to clothing, footwear, jewelry, and homeware, we work directly with artisan communities and small producers across Kenya — paying fair prices, honouring tradition.
Shop the CollectionWe work directly with cooperatives and independent craftspeople across 12 Kenyan counties.
Every product is purchased at fair-trade prices. No middlemen. No compromises.
Three percent of every sale goes directly back into artisan training programmes in Kenya.
Hello Friday was born in early 2025 from a simple frustration: the finest goods Kenya produces — its teas, its handwoven baskets, its carved stone — were invisible to the wider world.
In Kenya, Friday is market day — the day communities gather, trade, celebrate. Hello Friday is our permanent market day: a bridge between Kenyan artisans and curious people across the US.
We purchase directly from artisans and cooperatives — no import agents, no intermediaries. The price you see reflects honest value.
Every purchase sustains a tradition. We document each artisan's techniques and story, archiving Kenya's living craft heritage for future generations.
Each item is inspected before shipping. If it doesn't meet our standard, it doesn't leave Nairobi. Our 30-day guarantee reflects that confidence.
We handle every step — export paperwork, international freight, US customs clearance, and last-mile delivery. You simply wait for the knock at the door.
From our Nairobi warehouse to your front door, track every movement with full visibility.
