African handmade goods for serious buying moments
Sakaad
A lean sourcing desk for boutiques, museum shops, hospitality buyers, and teams that want corporate gifts with a real material story.
Three practical ways to use Sakaad.
The retired ecommerce store has been replaced with a focused inquiry site. The goal is to qualify real projects before rebuilding a catalog or checkout experience.
Corporate gifting
Bulk gifts with meaning
Gift-ready handmade sets for donor appreciation, company retreats, conferences, employee milestones, and client thank-you programs.
Custom sourcing
Brief-led project help
Support for materials, color direction, target price points, quantities, sample planning, presentation inserts, and project coordination.
Product direction
Handmade goods that fit real buying moments.
Sakaad is best used for curated, project-based sourcing rather than one-off consumer checkout. Start with a brief; move to a shortlist only when the order path is realistic.
Retail
Baskets, handbags, textile accents, jewelry, tabletop gifts, home decor, and seasonal assortments.
Gifting
Gift-ready bundles, handmade keepsakes, small home goods, natural textile sets, and presentation inserts.
Sourcing
Brief-led search for materials, colors, price points, quantities, lead times, shipping, and packaging needs.
A lean restart
Useful before it is large.
This site is intentionally not a live catalog. If enough qualified demand appears, Sakaad can grow into a seasonal line sheet, sample library, or Shopify wholesale flow. Until then, it stays focused on serious buyer conversations.
A simple path from brief to order.
Every project should answer the same core questions: who is it for, what is the quantity, what is the budget, and what has to be true for fulfillment to work.
Share the need
Retail line, event gift, employee bundle, donor gift, or custom sourcing request.
Shape the shortlist
Narrow by audience, price point, materials, timing, and presentation expectations.
Confirm feasibility
Review minimums, samples, timelines, packaging, shipping, and any custom needs.
Move to invoice
Qualified projects can move into a deposit, invoice, or partner fulfillment path.

FAQ
Before you inquire.
These answers keep the site useful without pretending the old online store is still operating.
Can I buy a single item online?
Not right now. The old consumer store has been retired. Sakaad is focused on wholesale, corporate gifting, and qualified sourcing projects.
Is there a current catalog?
A current live catalog is not published yet. Share your product direction and quantity so the right shortlist or sample path can be discussed.
What size projects are a fit?
Best fit is usually a buyer with a defined audience, budget range, timeline, and enough quantity to make sourcing practical. Very small one-off requests may not be feasible.
Is Sakaad claiming active certification?
No. The site references handmade artisan sourcing as a business direction, but it does not claim current fair-trade certification or active membership unless that is separately reverified.
