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.

Received my second order today, everything is beautiful & I'm amazed at how fast I get my orders! I love the fact that you use the USPS ( I'm a 24 year postal employee). Now all I have to do is save up for one of the gorgeous satchel purses! Keep up the good work!
