Hey, I’m Shaz, the designer behind Tunza.

Half Danish and half Kenyan, raised in Kenya and now based in Copenhagen. I grew up between two worlds, and that mix shows up in everything I make: bold prints and clean lines, warmth and restraint, Nairobi color and Scandinavian ease, a fusion of comfort and style.

I started Tunza because the clothing industry has a problem. Poor-quality clothes that can’t be resold travel from Europe to countries like Kenya and end up in landfills. We need to do better, shop better and look good while we do it.

Every piece starts with fabric that already exists: deadstock cotton or linen, and textile waste that would otherwise go unused. I add kitenge/ankara and turn it into designs with personality, shape, and attitude. Everything is made in small batches in Kenya, by skilled hands, and released as preorders and made-to-order mini collections. That means less waste, no overproduction, and pieces made with care instead of in bulk.

My pieces are designed to move with you. Waistbands adjust, cuts forgive, and silhouettes stay flattering whether your body is having a good day, a bloated day, or a different season of life altogether. Clothes should fit the person you are right now, not the other way around.

Tunza is Swahili for to care for, to cherish. That’s the whole idea: care for the people who make the clothes, for the materials, and for the person wearing them.

Thank you for being part of this story.
