Sukwa Saddle Blankets was founded to create quality Saddle Blankets for both riders and horses, while also working to make the world a better place. Sukwa means woven in Swahili. We saw a need in the market for beautifully innovative, quality Saddle Blankets, and had friends and artisans in Kenya who could create just that. So, we teamed up with Imani Collective – a women’s economic empowerment program in Kenya – to design and produce hand-woven Saddle Blankets using the highest quality local wool and mohair sourced straight from Northern Kenyan sheep farmers. For every Sukwa Saddle Blanket sold, 5% is given back to provide either 55 meals for the artisan who created the Blanket, or a month of schooling for one of their kids.
