Beevan Arts: Blending innovative punch needling with sustainable fashion
Meet Nancy Njeri, the visionary founder of Beevan Arts. She began her journey into the art of punch needling as a hobby in 2020 and decided to transform this passion into a thriving business in March.
Punch needling, a relatively new and unique craft in Kenya, involves creating intricate illustrations resembling photographs by using a punch needle and yarn.
This technique, though rooted in traditional embroidery, has gained popularity in recent years for its versatility and the textured, three-dimensional effect it brings to fabric art. Nancy’s innovative approach sets her apart, especially through her commitment to sustainability.
She sources recycled materials such as corduroy and denim for her creations, choosing these fabrics for their durability and strength. The linings of her products are made from repurposed bedsheets, reflecting her dedication to eco-friendly practices.
This blend of modern artistry and sustainable fashion not only reduces waste but also breathes new life into discarded textiles.
Beevan Arts offers a variety of handcrafted products, including tote bags, carpets, coasters, wall décor, rugs, pillowcases, and more.
Nancy’s business is gradually gaining traction in the niche market of handcrafted, sustainable fashion. Her products, priced between 3,000 and 35,000 KES, appeal to eco-conscious consumers who value both aesthetics and ethical practices.
