Ayemafrica’s visit to the World of
a Kenyan Queen: Kemunto Tesh.
Meet Kenya’s Queen of Styles. FASHION
MEETS CREATIVITY
KEMUNTO TESH.
Who is
Kemunto?
Kemunto Tesh
is a goddess of African culture because she truly represents the African
society. Her love for African attire is brought to bear by her fully blossomed
figure which she usually covers in African attire.
Kemunto Tesh is so intimately drawn to the African colour, nature and culture; these attributes are exemplified by her fond love of the African Coastal scenery.

Her
works: AFRICAN GALLERIA
The design of the African attire truly represents her deep African roots, which
she believes are well portrayed in a woman by the way she dresses. The attire
of a woman speaks volumes of her character in the African culture.
Apparently the beauty of a woman in African culture is pronounced by her character and not physical characteristics.
Kemunto Tesh's love of beauty is thus expressed in the love of her African attire and that love for Africa and Kenya in particular is a true exhibit of her roots that extends to the involvement of the youths in the production of these attires.

What is
the spirit behind this creative concept; AFRICAN GALLERIA?
African families extend well beyond parents and siblings.
A true spirit of an African woman is to be the keeper of the family.
The production of these attires has helped the youths by creating a source of income and keeps them from indulging in activities detrimental to their livelihood...e.g. drug abuse and alcohol among others.
It is not only the youths that are involved in the manufacturing of these products; Kemunto Tesh's love to build her African community has compelled her to involve her fellow African women so as to share the benefits.
Elderly women weave the bags and baskets, while the sandals are made by male youths.
Materials used for sandals is mainly leather, beads among others.
And bags...are made using makuti(papyrus)fibres and kikoi or leso(wrapper).
To produce one pair of sandals, it takes up to 3 days, while a bag takes a day.
