SIAFU is a modern African weaving house, born in Nairobi, shaped across the continent, and connected to the world. Founded by Gladys Macharia, SIAFU celebrates the quiet power of craft: the human rhythm of the loom, the touch of natural fibers, and the beauty of things made with care and intention.

Every piece begins with a thread and a story. Our textiles are composed, not just designed, to live beautifully in spaces that value warmth, artistry, and belonging. Rooted in the Creator archetype, SIAFU transforms heritage techniques into something enduringly modern, refined, soulful, and unmistakably African.

At its core, SIAFU is a conversation between craft and culture. We honour makers, materials, and partnerships. Each textile tells a story of place, of process, of continuity. Together, they form a living archive of African artistry seen through a global design lens.
