Founded in 1975 by Lady Susan Wood in Nairobi, Kenya, Kazuri—meaning "small and beautiful" in Swahili—began as a humble workshop in a backyard shed. Wood, a visionary who sought to create employment for struggling single mothers, started with just two local women. Today, the brand operates a bustling factory on the former Karen Blixen estate, employing hundreds of disadvantaged women who hand-mold and paint each ceramic bead.
