Our Story

The Pwani Leather House is a dream that came to reality in 2022 where two sisters, Dr. Bigen Al-Ghaafiry(23) and Ambassador Princess Shameem Al-Ghaafiry (17), thought of restoring and resurrecting the Swahili culture which is dying a slow death as it is eroded with the modern world. This dream is all about DNA. It is inspired by the old saying that goes, blood is thicker than water. Indeed it is, it’s stronger.

Their paternal ancestors originate from Oman, a tribe known as Al-Ghaafiry who’s clan historically conquered the Eastern Africa’s coastal strip back in the 18th century. It captured important towns all the way from the Horn of Africa in the North to Ruvuma river in the South. These towns were then transformed into trade centers where trade took place between the locals and the Omani Arabs. They include Pate, Malindi, Mombasa, Pemba and Zanzibar.

Our Aim

Since there is a need for the new generation to see the beauty left behind for them, TPLH is here to take you back before the 18th century where a large population were craftsmen. The Pwani Leather House aims at restoring the Swahili culture through traditional craftsmanship by producing products which are 100% pure leather, lovingly handicrafted from readily available materials.

Short Term Goal

To give back to the community. This is done through 100% sourcing of the necessary raw materials from the locals thus promoting local trade, hence providing the locals with income. Not only that, TPLH has 100% of it’s workers being people from the local communities with excellent and unique skills that promote the innovative part of it. All this improves the lives of the locals not only as a source of income but also preserving their craftsmanship.

Long Term Goals

To make Africa and the world at large to recognize and appreciate the Swahili people through a beautiful display of their rich culture and heritage all over the world.
