THE PROCESS
Customize one of our standard designs. All clay bead types can be painted in the color of your choice to reflect your brand, or left unpainted for a natural look. Glass beads and metal pieces are also available in a variety of colors and styles. Your logo or initials can be embossed on a hand-pounded metal charm to make any jewelry piece truly yours.
Want to design something completely original? We work with creatives to bring their ideas to life. Send us drawings, descriptions, and inspiration photos, and together with our Ugandan design team, we will iterate with you until your perfect design is a reality.
STORYTELLING
We love working with our clients to create packaging, social media assets, or full-on campaigns to tell the story of impact inherent in each piece. Whether you want to brand it Mabira, cobrand together with us, or private label your line, we can provide photos, video, data, and stories to communicate your impact.
