Last Saturday, I found myself wandering through the vibrant streets of Westlands, Nairobi, eager to explore the local treasures this bustling neighborhood had to offer. My mission? To visit Wanjugu Collection, a haven for fabric and interior design enthusiasts like myself. As soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted by the warm and inviting ambiance, with walls adorned with stunning crochet designs and an array of beautiful textiles.
The shop was alive with creativity, boasting a variety of products, but I had my eyes set on a few specific items. One of the standout products was a beautifully crafted crochet throw blanket priced at Ksh 3,500. Reviews I had read prior to visiting praised its softness and exquisite craftsmanship, and I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. Upon touching the blanket, I was instantly impressed by the luxurious feel of the yarn. It was the perfect combination of warmth and charm, ideal for snuggling up on a chilly Nairobi evening.
As I continued to explore, I was drawn to a section featuring unique fabric yardage that Wanjugu Collection offers. I discovered a vibrant African print fabric that reviewers had raved about for its vivid colors and versatility. At just Ksh 1,200 per yard, I simply could not resist! Visioning the stunning curtains or perhaps a chic dress I could make, I made my purchase with an eager heart.
The exceptional service at Wanjugu Collection is worth mentioning, especially the assistance I received from Joyce, one of the friendly attendants. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the products, guiding me through my choices and sharing tips on how best to utilize the materials. Her enthusiasm for the craft was infectious, making my shopping experience even more enjoyable. It’s no wonder that many satisfied customers have left glowing reviews about her attentive service.
As my visit came to an end, I felt content with my purchases and the delightful atmosphere surrounding me. I had come looking for inspiration for my next project, and Wanjugu Collection had delivered it in spades. The crochet throw blanket and the vibrant African print fabric were not just materials; they were pieces that told a story about artistry and culture.
If you're visiting or living in Nairobi, I highly recommend making your way to Wanjugu Collection in Westlands. Whether you are searching for fresh fabric, unique crochet items, or just a place to fuel your creative spirit, this shop has something special for everyone.
I left the shop with two wonderful items, a heart full of inspiration, and a solid appreciation for the crafts that come from our rich heritage. Until next time, happy crafting!
