The company has been using sisal to rejuvenate the basket weaving tradition of the Akamba women in Kenya since 1995. All products are of exceptional quality and pure design, and are fairly traded with women themselves establishing the buying price. Azim has forged deals for the products to be sold in Liberty, Heals, Margaret Howell, DKNY and Conran Worldwide amongst others. Azim will discuss the highs and lows of having your own business, and how to turn ideas into reality.
