    People often ask us: What does “ByHer” mean?

    The answer is simple.

    ByHer literally means “Made by Her.”

    But for us, it means much more than that.

    When I founded ByHer, I wanted to create a brand that would celebrate the talent, resilience, and creativity of African women while creating meaningful economic opportunities for them.

    From day one, we made a commitment:

    At least 80% of our workforce would be women.

    Today, that commitment remains at the heart of everything we do.

    In our Nairobi workshop, 8 out of our 10 full-time employees are women. Among our part-time team members, 8 out of 15 are women.

    Behind every ByHer bag, pouch, laptop sleeve, and corporate gift is a woman using her skills to earn an income, support her family, and build a better future.

    Our logo tells this story too.

    The flowing handwritten line represents the journey of women's continuous, creative, and full of possibility.

    Every purchase you make helps turn that belief into reality.

    When you choose ByHer, you’re choosing more than a beautifully crafted product you are investing in women, creating opportunities, and helping families and communities thrive.

    That’s the impact behind every stitch, every design, and every order.

    Made in Kenya. Made with Purpose. Made by Her.

    Join us in creating a future where more women can earn, lead, and succeed one purchase at a time.
