Tembo NYC is a woman owned social enterprise, financially empowering women by creating artful accessories that make a positive impact on people, our planet and wildlife. Developing visual stories to support a cause, Tembo collaborates with female artists and donates a 5% of the profit to the cause highlighted in the design. Our hand-sewn accessories are made in Queens, NYC by an immigrant women’s sewing cooperative.
We love working with journalists to share our compelling and unique story. If you’re a member of the media and would like to talk please send an email to tembonyc@gmail.com
