Because our pieces are handmade, with textures and nuances that styled photos don’t always capture. For high ticket items, we invite you to browse and find inspiration here, but visit in person when you’re ready to make a purchase. It’s the surest way to ensure satisfaction - and value for your hard-earned money.

Totem’s production, shipping, and warehousing costs are primarily billed in USD. Listing our prices in the same currency is a deliberate decision because it allows us to manage our supply chain sustainably and price with consistency.

That said, we do accept payment in KES.

Totem sources from across the globe. We work with artisan collectives, workshops, and small-scale producers whose techniques and materials align with our design language - natural, grounded, and enduring.

This includes partnerships with local makers in Kenya, Eswatini, Indonesia, Vietnam, and South Africa.

We currently do not offer custom pieces. Every item is selected for its integrity as-is.

For trade clients or interior designers sourcing for projects, we’re open to discussing tailored options depending on volume and lead times. Reach out directly to explore possibilities.

The warehouse is at Nairobi Gate Industrial Park along the Eastern Bypass. See location pin.
