LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF
Hey there, fabulous ladies! I go by the name of Caroline Schmidt, the proud captain of Karibosana, a cozy little nook straight out of South Africa, where we throw a party for all things local and fabulous.
It all began back in 2016, while I was gallivanting through Kenya, and voilà! What started as a mere hobby blossomed into the magnificent marvel that is my very own business! Can you feel the love for Africa pulsating through my veins?
At Karibosana, we’re all about embracing the mantra of re-use, reduce, recycle, and all that jazz. Oh, and did I mention handmade and local? It’s our bread and butter, darling! So, if you’re ready to dive into a world where sustainability meets style, hop on board because we’re about to take you on a wild ride!
