The Ranger Parka
It’s made from 100% Kenyan cotton in a sturdy twill weave and comes in two colors: a natural khaki that echoes the rangers’ original field wear, and a rich oxblood red, hand-dyed in a color that symbolizes strength in Samburu culture. The oversized ¾-length fit is relaxed and functional. It has a drawstring waist for shape, a generous hood, and both zipper and Velcro closures for secure layering.
We first fell in love with this silhouette when we saw it on Julia Francombe, founder of Samburu Trust, whose work with Samburu communities has long inspired us. The front carries four hand-stitched ribbon bars, each intricately beaded by Samburu women artisans in traditional patterns. A small handcrafted brass cowrie shell sits just above the heart as a subtle Kenyan symbol of prosperity and protection.
Individually numbered and one-of-a-kind, this is a piece for those who move with intention. It honors those who protect the earth and those who are rooted in it.
100% of profits from this parka support Indigenous communities, wildlife conservation, and ecological restoration.
