The story
Katana was born as a Kenyan based Japanese inspired movement – a space where style could meet zen philosophy, where luxury could be both comfortable and meaningful. Our principles are quality and innovation of both mind and matter, this is inspired by the dichotomy of ancient wisdom and modern style.Fabrics that can keep up with the pace of youth while embodying the composure of Mastery.
Our movement is crystallized with the ethos “It’s better to be a samurai in a garden than a gardener in a war.” This is more than just our tagline – it’s the philosophy that drives every stitch, every design, every piece we create. It’s better to be ready for war while at peace . Than to crave for peace in the midst of battle .
