Tensira

Tensira was founded in 2010 by husband and wife Hamidou Diallo and Tuulia Makinen Diallo. Tensira is a unique expression of centuries-old Guinean know-how of weaving and indigo dying and Nordic design. Hamidou’s mother was an indigo dye artist for more 40 years at the prefecture of Mali in Guinea. Core to their process is sustainable production, respect for environment and people as well as guarantee a safe and fair work environment for all their collaborators. Their goal is to highlight African craftsmanship and develop a market for this unique tradition which has been passed on from generation to generation.
