How It All Started
Gakondo is a retail Lifestyle Brand concept and community space that uses modern products to preserve Rwandan cultural heritage.
We believe people and products matter. We are driven to promote Rwandan & African Culture with the best goods in a distinguished environment that supports a lifestyle of quality and intentionality. With community at our core, we desire a space for conversations around Cultural Heritage to happen and stories to be told in a modern era way.
Each Local, Continental or International brand we partner with, reflects a common value with ours that exists to provide goods for a better life and home. Whether it's small batch apparel, unique home goods and gifts, or locally handmade bags, we connect with the stories of these brands and love that they create products where quality and function prevail.
Our Mission
We create unique experiences designed to impact people through the virtue of hospitality
Our Vision
We believe in building lifestyle user centered products that are embedded in Rwandan values.
Creativity
Everything starts with an idea, and the process of turning it into something tangible is best achieved when we work together. As a Rwandan culture brand, we start with the foundations of Rwandan inspired design thinking canvas and then combine vision and skill to create something beautiful, usable, and purposeful. The end goal? Surpass the expectations of whoever conceived the dream.
