VILLAGE MARKET

In 1992 two Kenyan brothers, Hamed and Mehraz Ehsani had the idea of constructing a shopping and recreation mall within Nairobi. Their objective was to provide a shopping and recreation experience for Gigiri's residents which include diplomats, expatriates and tourists living and/or working within the Nairobi's Diplomatic District and its immediate environs.Construction began in April 1992 with 10 shops. Three years later they opened The Village Market's gates to the public. Today (February 2009) the complex covers over 225,713 square feet (20,969.4 m2) of leasing space; three levels high, with more than 150 outlets.The latest addition to the mall is a 5 star hotel with a 142 guest rooms and suites.[2] In 2007 Sandstorm Kenya launched its second shop in Kenya in a african safari style at the village market ,our shop is suited above food coat .Please pay a visit in our shop when you visit village market ,lots of enduring styles travel bags, work bags, wash bags, ladies bags and outdoor accessories, in Canvas & Leather, Pull-up and Pelage Leathers, African Camel and each one hand-crafted carefully, individually and ethically.
