About Obakki
Obakki is a philanthropic e-commerce lifestyle brand founded in 2005 by Treana Peake. The company specializes in handcrafted, small-batch home goods, accessories, apparel, and artisan products sourced from global partners in 14 countries. Obakki promotes sustainable consumption and artisan independence while emphasizing social impact through its offerings.
Initially starting as a fashion label, Obakki has evolved to focus on slow design and intentional living. The brand prioritizes durable, responsibly sourced items that preserve cultural heritage and traditional techniques. Obakki operates as an artisan incubator, fostering growth among its partners and ensuring transparency and respect in production. Profits from sales support The Obakki Foundation, which provides access to clean water, education, and medical care, positively impacting over three million people, primarily in Africa.
Obakki's curated products include home goods like hand-carved bowls, accessories such as woven baskets, and ethically produced apparel. Each purchase supports artisan communities and their stories, while the brand also aids in developing artisan businesses to help them achieve financial independence.
