our roots

Welcome to the vibrant world of Essensuals by Khemura, where each creation is a testament to the rich tapestry of African heritage and a celebration of self-love. Founded in 2005 by the visionary Meketira, this artistic venture has evolved from decades of dedicated work in the realm of clothing design.

At the heart of Essensuals by Khemura is the dynamic duo of Meketira and her daughter, Rashida. Together, they weave energy into every piece, crafting not just jewelry and clothing but tangible expressions of serenity and sensory delight. From oils that tantalize the olfactory senses to meticulously designed waist beads, their creations transcend mere adornment, inviting you to a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Meketira's journey into the world of design began long before the establishment of Essensuals. Decades of honing her craft set the stage for a venture that goes beyond fashion. It's a legacy, a story told through the threads of time and culture.

Essensuals by Khemura isn't just about the products; it's about creating harmony. Waist beads, a signature creation, stand as symbols of self-love, self-worth, and self-acceptance. Each bead is a carefully chosen reflection of these values, resonating with the wearer's unique journey.

As the heartbeat of Essensuals, Meketira and Rashida infuse each creation with a personal touch. Behind every piece lies a story, a moment of inspiration, or a reflection of their own journey. It's not just about crafting art; it's about sharing a piece of their hearts with the world.

When you choose Essensuals, you're not just selecting jewelry or clothing — you're embracing a narrative. A narrative that speaks to the power of heritage, the beauty of harmony, and the transformative essence of self-love. So, treat yourself to the Essensuals experience, where each piece is an invitation to celebrate your uniqueness and bask in the radiance of self-affirmation.

Join us on this journey where heritage meets harmony, and every creation is a brushstroke on the canvas of your story.
