Our Story

From a small workshop in Nairobi to the hands of women worldwide. This is the Sero story.

The Founder

Meet Angie

Angie grew up watching her grandmother transform raw leather into beautiful bags in their Nairobi home. Those early memories of skilled hands, patient craftsmanship, and the pride of creating something lasting became the foundation of Sero.

After studying fashion design in London and working with luxury houses across Europe, Angie returned to Nairobi with a clear mission: build a luxury brand that celebrates African artisanship and creates meaningful employment for local craftspeople.

"Sero" means "home" in Swahili — a reminder that every bag carries the warmth and soul of the hands that made it.

Where It All Begins

Our atelier in Westlands, Nairobi is where ideas become reality. It's a space filled with the scent of leather, the rhythm of stitching, and the quiet pride of creation.

We employ 15 full-time artisans, each with specialized skills passed down through generations. From cutting and stitching to finishing and quality control — every step happens under one roof.
