About us

Mokonzi is more than a shop, it’s a story.

Our journey began in 2014 with a simple belief: a home is not just a shelter, but a canvas where the artistry of life unfolds. As a family and veteran-owned business with deep roots in Africa, we are passionate about sharing the creativity, beauty, and heritage of African craftsmanship with the world.

From the start, our mission has been clear, to connect talented African artisans with global art lovers, offering not only unique products but also a meaningful cultural experience. We specialize in handcrafted African art, jewelry, clothing, and home décor, each piece carefully curated to tell its own story. Whether it is a sculpture carved from stone, a piece of jewelry passed through generations of technique, or eco-friendly décor for your home, every item embodies centuries of tradition and artistry.

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. We carefully choose materials and partners who value ecological responsibility, making sure our products bring beauty into your space while respecting the planet. We envision a world where elegance and sustainability live side by side, and every choice you make supports that vision.

As a 100 percent minority and veteran-owned business, giving back is woven into who we are. We treat our customers like family, take pride in supporting our African partners, and stay involved in local community initiatives.

When you shop at Mokonzi, you are not only finding something beautiful for your home or a meaningful gift for someone you love, you are joining us on a journey of artistry, culture, and impact. Together, we can celebrate the richness of African heritage while building a more sustainable and connected world.
