After living and working in Malawi, artist Marissa Perry Saints founded Dsenyo in an effort to create opportunity for hard-working artisans in Africa and Brazil. Dsenyo offers handcrafted bags and accessories that celebrate African and Brazilian textile design. They follow Fair Trade principles working to create maximum benefit for the artisans and communities with which they partner.

Dsenyo is a social enterprise. They believe business is a powerful way to address social and economic problems. Countless challenges confront creative and industrious people in Africa and in Brazil as they try to build their small businesses, practice their craft and support their families.

What Does the Fox Say?

We wish we knew what the fox says, so in our quest to find out we partnered with women from the Mwayiwathu Group to make a little fox friend for us to help us find out. We hope that we can get a little hint about what the fox might say in the singing that you can hear in the link below.
