Who we are

Welcome to KEMETIS, where African heritage meets contemporary fashion, JOYelry (jewelry made with joy), and crafts. Our brand is dedicated to honoring the rich culture of Kemet, the ancient and original civilization of Egypt, and celebrating the diverse beauty of modern-day Africa.

The name KEMETIS is born out of "Kemet", and translates as "land of the black people".

Purpose

At KEMETIS, we take pride in our African roots and draw inspiration from the vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and profound symbolism of African art and tradition. Each of our products reflects this cultural heritage, from our stunning fashion pieces to our exquisite JOYelry and crafts.

But our commitment to Africa goes beyond just aesthetics. We believe in giving back to the communities that inspire us. That's why we work closely with local artisans in South Africa, Ghana, Kenya, and other parts of Africa, providing them with fair wages and sustainable employment opportunities. By supporting these artisans, we not only preserve traditional craftsmanship but also contribute to the economic empowerment of African communities.

In addition to our ethical production practices, we're dedicated to making a positive impact through charitable efforts and volunteer work. Our team actively engages with local African communities, whether it's through educational initiatives, environmental conservation projects, or providing aid to those in need. We believe in paying it forward and strive to uplift and empower others wherever we can.

Moving and evolving

At KEMETIS, we're more than just a fashion brand. We're a movement — a celebration of African heritage, a commitment to sustainability, and a force for positive change in the world. Join us on our journey as we continue to inspire, uplift, and empower the African community, one stylish piece at a time.
