About Vohandas
from dream to design
Vohandas was born in 2020, a time when the world seemed to pause and many of us re-evaluated our priorities. Like so many others, I found myself caught in the corporate current, busy climbing the ladder and trying to fit into a mold of professionalism. It was easy to lose sight of the creative spark that ignited my soul.
Vohandas became my way to reconnect, a space to express the side of myself that craved beauty and meaning. It blossomed from a solitary seed of an idea into a vibrant team – a team of people who, like me, yearn to live with intention.
At Vohandas, we partner with top brands to provide ethically sourced, meaningful and purposeful accessories. Each piece is meticulously chosen to resonate with a particular aspect of your life's journey. It might be a reminder of a cherished travel destination, a spark of inspiration for your next design project, or simply a symbol of the love you pour into everything you do. Our accessories are an invitation to find beauty in the everyday chaos, a chance to express yourself and share the values you hold dear.
We believe that living a purposeful and beautiful life shouldn't be a luxury. That's why we prioritize using sustainable materials. Every piece we create adds to the world, and we want to ensure we give back more than we take. Our materials are chosen with this in mind, aiming to reduce our environmental footprint.
Accessibility is also a core value at Vohandas. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to adorn themselves with beautiful, meaningful pieces. That's reflected in our pricing, making it possible for you to curate a collection that reflects your unique story.
From Nairobi Roots to Global Reach
After moving back home to Nairobi, Kenya, in 2020, we opened our first store in Nairobi a year later. Today, our products can be found in select small boutiques in the United States and Kenya. We have two warehouses, one in New Jersey and the other in Nairobi. Our products are created in Nairobi and, for select items, sent to New Jersey for packaging and shipping to our U.S. customers.
