Empowering communities
Welcome to saėėda – a Rwandan-rooted brand by Teakisi bringing together craftsmanship, culture, coffee and community.
Through our collection of beautiful, handcrafted home décor and homeware, we celebrate the artistry and heritage of Rwanda while supporting the talented women artisans behind each piece. We are committed to ethical sourcing, sustainability and creating opportunities that make a meaningful difference to artisans, their families and communities.
Our community café is also an important part of the saėėda experience. Here, you can enjoy Rwandan-grown coffee, discover more about Rwanda and its craftsmanship, and spend time in a welcoming space designed to bring people together.
Based in Rwanda and with a growing presence in the North East of England, Saėėda creates a connection between the artisans and the communities behind our products and the people who discover them here.
Come for the craftsmanship. Stay for the coffee. Connect with the community.
