Alume Imports

Alume Imports seeks to encourage and empower disadvantaged artisans in developing countries by expanding their markets through fair practices and meaningful relationships.

Focusing primarily on handicrafts from Kenya, our products include baskets, scarves, jewelry, wooden bowls, Christmas items, and more!

Not only are our products unique and beautiful, but we are a business with a mission!  One of the main goals of Alume Imports is to promote development through income generation.  Handouts aren’t sustainable but hard work, dedication, and an available market gives artisans the opportunity to employ themselves and earn an income.

By shopping with us you are shopping responsibly and supporting artisans in need of a hand up.
