Investing in the people…
We believe that in order to help the wildlife, you must invest in the people. In  January 2020 we visited our ‘Mara’ project, which supports conservation in Kenya through 5% of all our ‘Mara’ collection sales  (At least 50% of profits), helping the coexistence of the people and the wildlife in Kenya.

Growing up in Kenya…

KOY Clothing was founded by two brothers, Alastair and Jimmy Scott who grew up in Kenya.

Growing up in Africa is an experience like no other. It shapes and develops you in a certain way. Imagine having a garden that never ends, full of life, full of colour and untapped potential. As kids we are naïve and innocent, feeling you can play forever in this peaceful garden, but as you get older you realise it’s not quite as harmonious as you once thought.

It all started with a birthday present…

Alastair wanted to get a present that made Jimmy standout at his 21st birthday party. Alastair scoured the internet but couldn’t find anything to match what he had in mind. Then, the bright and unique Kikoy fabric that surrounded us growing up in Kenya popped into mind. So, he went to the local Kenyan markets, bought some Kikoy fabric, took it to ‘Charles’ a local tailor and ‘voila’ – the first ever KOY Clothing jacket was created.

For a few years after Jimmy’s birthday, friends and friends of friends started asking us to make them similar blazers – so we did this as a hobby on the side of University/our full time jobs…

Our Promise was born…

KOY Clothing was officially incorporated as a business in December 2016 and from the moment our first blazer was stitched, we made a promise, a promise we intend to deliver on…

Africa has so much to offer and while many choose to give back to it, there are some who choose to exploit it. It is our promise to value what this stunning continent has given us. We do this by giving 5% of all sales (At least 50% of profits – see how this amount is calculated HERE) to projects within Kenyan communities, helping the people, the place and the wildlife.
