Awino Aisha Lyimo

Upholstery, done properly

  • 🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya
  • Old Likoni Workshop
  • 1984 to 2020
  • English, Swahili
My trade is upholstery. I opened my own shop in 1984 in Likoni and I'm still there most mornings. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 23 years later for another job.

More about Awino

Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.

Crafts and trades

What gifts mean to Awino: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
