FARAI

Discovered in Brooklyn, NY in 2010, Farai, is a sustainable and ethical lifestyle brand that focuses on people, product, and planet.

People: We create our products with African Artisans & Factories in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, & Benin using sustainable practices and materials. Working & building economies in Africa through design is the core of our mission. We get to show you first hand “Who made your product”, as well as confidently knowing that every dollar we spend is put back into making our Artisan partners financially independent while growing their businesses.

Product: In our efforts to reduce over-production and garment waste each product developed is well thought out, highly constructed, & has you & your lifestyle in mind. We choose quality & creativity over trend, so that your item can be used for many seasons and will last you for years.

Planet: We source sustainable fabrics by only using up-cycled fabrics and hand weaved/hand dyed textiles which reduces clothing and textile waste. Making 1 cotton shirt requires over 700 gallons of water, whereas using an up-cycled shirt to create something new barely requires any water. If we break it down the average US citizen throws away 70 pounds of clothing and other textiles annually. That's a lot! So if we can do our part by using sustainable fabrics, we can help change the course of the 85% of textile waste that ends up in landfills.
