With the Women of Kireka slowly gaining international fame in Europe (thanks to the efforts of Ida Horner pushing their wares), I thought a product shoot was in order so we could really show off some of their handicrafts.
Ida will use the images to market the #WoK brand for Ethnic Supplies. I have to say a special thank you to Erinah “Pinkie” Shanahn for agreeing to model for the women at such short notice. The jewelry looks great on her, and I have to say that she makes the jewelry that much more desirable (not that it wasn’t already!)
If you’d like to support the women by purchasing a few items, hit up the Ethnic Supplies website. Ida would be more than happy to sell you a few items from their collection! After all, wouldn’t you rather give work instead of aid? We know we would.
