OUR STORY

Uthando brings hand-made, sustainable, and one-of-a-kind goods to your doorstep, with love all the way from Africa. By shopping with UTHANDO (love) you are directly supporting and uplifting talented and strong women living in the most rural areas of Africa.

“Uthando” is the isiZulu word for “love”. Shop Uthando was founded by two conservationists, Yvette and Tori, whose efforts are focused in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and through their journeys have met some pretty talented weavers. 

"We founded Uthando for them, to plant seeds of independence, freedom and economic growth. We wanted to create a brand that not only beautifies your home, but also supports these incredible women in rural communities."

"To us, love means making a positive impact to those around us… while also beautifying your homes! We hope that you’ll join us on this journey of spreading love and positivity!"
