Unveiling Oribe’s 2024 Holiday Collection: A Vision from a Kenyan Photographer

At Oribe, the holiday season goes beyond mere celebration; it’s a chance to showcase their dedication to design and artisanal craftsmanship through impactful collaborations. For the 2024 holiday season, Oribe has teamed up with renowned Kenyan fine art photographer Thandiwe Muriu. Muriu’s artistic vision, deeply influenced by her African heritage, brings forth this year’s collection, which beautifully captures themes of community, joy, and cultural pride—all reflected in her distinctive designs.

Muriu’s work showcases a profound admiration for the women of her homeland, celebrating their strength, beauty, and unity. Inspired by the African proverb, “When your sister does your hair, you do not need a mirror,” she taps into the communal nature of haircare in Kenya, where women gather to support and uplift each other. Muriu shares, “Strangers quickly become friends through the simple act of helping one woman look her best.”

In line with Oribe’s environmental values, the packaging of the Holiday 2024 Collection is made with FSC-certified materials, using soy-based inks and renewable energy. Every element, from the biodegradable trays to the chlorine-free paper, reflects Oribe’s ongoing dedication to sustainability, ensuring the beauty of the holiday season extends far beyond the gifts themselves.
