The carvers used to make mostly wild animal figurines, but more recently have started creating contemporary abstracts, candleholders, bowls/dishes, bookends, domestic pet figurines like cats and dogs to name a few. The soapstone is first immersed into water so that it is easier to mould and carve. Once the stone is dry it will stay in its solid form. Colour is used to give a brighter look and is added on to some of the carvings. The cool soft touch of Kisii is unparalleled to any other stone in the world.

African art, trade beads and ethnic jewelry are both business and passion for the Kilele Authentics’ team. The founders, Samuel Mwangi and Irene Wangari started making and designing African jewelry when they were only 12-year-old and 10-years-old respectively. The two siblings were brought up in a family of seven whom their parents were running one of the most prominent handcraft company in Kenya dubbed ‘Imara Designers’. For more than 12 years, they worked side by side with their parents, creating, exporting and marketing handcrafts on different platforms until they realised there was more need in the market than it was being met. That’s when they created Kilele Authentics to fill in the gap.
