Already Denys Finch Hatton And Karen Blixen were enchanted by the country years before our founder Roger Brandts. Now it is up to us to return Kenya something.
Repet is an innovative project that links the textile circular economy with education initiatives to promote equal opportunities, especially for young women in Kenya. In cooperation with the Kenyan company Africa Collect Textiles And other partners from industry, as well as we at Fynch-Hatton, repetete positions in the global context. The project connects European and Kenyan stakeholders to a collective responsibility to emphasize for the end of the product life in the textile industry and jointly solutions according to SDG 17 (17 goals that include a global plan to promote sustainable peace and prosperity to protect our planet and an agenda by 2030).
