After 4 long years of running the Anne Drane Collection as a hobby and working in the finance field, I have come to the decision that to succeed I need to ‘jump in with both feet’. Following a very successful partnership with Zafarani, We have rebranded to Sawa Sawa. Sawa Sawa is a Swahili phrase that translates to, okay, alright, I understand, It’s good etc. depending on context. It’s a phrase like ‘Hakuna Matata’.

Our brand will carry Jewelry, shoes, clothes, bags, sculptures, art, Kikoys, among others all handmade at a fair trade workshop in Kenya by Kenyan Artists and craftsmen.

My people have a saying, If you want to go fast go alone, If you want to go far, go together. Over the past few months we have been finalizing the details on a partnership between Anne Drane Collection and Zafahari Africa by kate Saich. Kate and I have known each other since high school. She is an amazing, capable, creative, all round entreprenuer and a gorgeous model as well. I look forward to a successful partnership.
