A brief overview
The Story Behind KAHINDO
KAHINDO is more than just a fashion label, it’s a movement rooted in modern luxury and ethical responsibility. Known for its vibrant, original prints and bold silhouettes, the brand celebrates African fashion heritage while giving it a contemporary twist. Every design reflects a deep respect for artisanal craftsmanship and a mission to empower women.
A core pillar of Mateene’s approach is her dedication to sustainability that’s not only eco-conscious but also deeply human-centered. KAHINDO collaborates with Give Work, an initiative that provides skills training and economic opportunities in underserved communities. The brand’s garments are handcrafted by women in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo Mateene’s hometown, offering these women both income and independence.
