Starting life as a maker of luxury tents for East Africa’s leading safari camps, Sandstorm Kenya progressed to creating a range of safari-grade bags and accessories inspired by Kenya’s breathtaking landscape and resilient wildlife. Using the same traditional skills and materials found in the tents, Sandstorm Kenya’s bags, shown off with some stunning photography are comfortingly familiar; the embodiment of the classic explorer-style safari look I was accustomed to seeing throughout shops in the cities, hotels and resorts up and down Zimbabwe and I even owned a similar-style holdall, given as a leaving gift when I came to the UK.

Based just outside Nairobi, Sandstorm Kenya initially created their timeless creations for local residents and people visiting for safari, but their reputation has since grown outside Kenya’s borders appealing to those seeking the safari look and products are now stocked at discerning retailers worldwide. Products are made using the finest East African materials including: Kenyan cowhides; camel hides from sustainably-farmed sources in Kenya’s Northern Frontier district; 18 oz safari-grade canvas made from 100% cotton that is grown, milled and manufactured in Tanzania; and soft cotton drill lining from Kenya. In addition their Scottish Estate Tweed collection uses tweed from Johnstons in Scotland.

Each bag is handmade and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Sandstorm Kenya stands out in that it has no production line; instead employing the skills of craftsmen and women predominantly from the Luo tribe from the shores of Lake Victoria who are renowned for their stitching and finishing skills, traditionally honed whilst working on fishing nets and weaving. Operating an open door policy Sandstorm Kenya invites you to visit the workshop for yourself and see how they operate.
