Founded in 2019 in Nairobi, Kenya, by Michael Nguthu—a designer who leveraged his experience with international brands to elevate local craftsmanship—We Are NBO is a contemporary jewelry brand rooted in community and resourcefulness. The brand is defined by its organic, sculptural pieces, including striking nature-inspired earrings, textured cuffs, and geometric necklaces. Crafted primarily from upcycled materials such as recycled brass salvaged from old fixtures, as well as ethically sourced bone and wood, the collections merge traditional Kenyan heritage with a modern, avant-garde sensibility.
