Every Kioni piece is a labor of love, with a single item some times requiring up to 8 hours of meticulous handcrafting. Many of our products are made in extremely rural communities, which can add time to the process—but it’s all for a good cause. This approach allows us to pay fair wages, preserve traditional craftsmanship, and empower the communities we partner with.
Smaller orders are often ready to ship within a few business days, while larger wholesale orders may take up to 8 weeks to complete. Thank you for supporting a process that prioritizes both quality and positive impact.
