About Dsenyo
Dsenyo is a social enterprise. We believe business is a powerful way to address social and economic problems. Countless challenges confront creative people in Malawi, Africa as they try to build their businesses, practice their craft & support their families.
After living in Malawi, artist Marissa Perry Saints founded Dsenyo to create opportunity for hard-working, African women and artisans. Dsenyo offers hand-crafted bags and accessories that celebrate African textile design. We follow Fair Trade principles working to create maximum benefit for the women, artisans & communities in which we work.
