Testimonials

For me, I choose Umba Creations because as a mother, the products speak my values that were instilled in me as a young child which I am also passing down to my children. They have character, are authentic, beautiful and speak heart.

Thank you again for the absolutely beautiful dolls! We love how thoughtfully packaged they are - they make fantastic, unique and special gifts - and the quality is second to none. They really are heirloom pieces. Thank you again for the great service and we look forward to our next order of Umba dolls!

I buy umba creations products because I love supporting local and small businesses firstly, second I love what the business stands for and absolutely love the message you are pushing of representation and inclusion.

I love the designs and the quality of work. Everyone we have gifted these too loves them too. I think the fact that the dolls celebrate diversity - are such a great message for children.

I like the value system behind the brand. I think they are important values for parents to instill in their kids. I love the diversity and inclusivity of the dolls. I think playing with dolls that look like you is important for personal development. Lastly I like that when they get dirty they can be put in the wash.

Several years ago I saw an umba stuffed animal on Facebook and immediately fell in love. It was something completely relatable to me as a creative, and just as authentic in how it was made. Umba dolls are created with love and it shows even in the details of their packaging. I love that my nieces can find themselves in a doll, uniquely made, reminding them how special they are.

Their values as a brand truly encompass what it means to be a good human to the many others we share our world with.

I chose to buy an Umba Creations doll for my 1 year old because it is handmade, locally crafted in Kenya and a woman owned small business. The doll is super cute too.

This doll is wonderful! Beautifully made and so cute. My son loves her!

Love love the doll it's exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for Wangari for the amazing customer service she is very helpful, my daughter loves the doll.

The delivery was very fast, love the package and the lovely cards inside it's very kind thank you I will definitely will buy more.

Phenomenal quality and workmanship. My 4 year old cousin opened his gift and exclaimed, “It’s ME!”

Such a lovely shop with a great ethos, beautiful products, and excellent customer service. I ordered a custom made doll for a birthday present and it came within a week, packaged beautifully. It's great to see genuinely diverse dolls for sale. Would definitely recommend!

AMAZING products! From stuffed dolls to card games...all with such profound meaning and positive influence. My favourite to date has been the blessings gift pack (stuffed animal and daily blessings for the little ones)...thank you Umba for your creativity that goes above and beyond!

Great service. Product was up to standard and I thank you for making my nieces happy.. Won't regret this purchase

They are so cute. I love that they are so diverse.

This one is traveling to Germany. My sister is having a baby and her first born loved the doll from you so she asked for another one for the new baby.

We just absolutely love them.

Love the doll. So beautifully packaged.

My goddaughter just looooved the superhero.

The dolls are for my niece and friends daughter. Such a great concept. Can’t wait to share them.

I’m travelling and need to take something for my friends kids.

My daughter lost her doll that we bought from you. She is attached to it. I would like to replace it.

It’s so great that children can learn values from an early age as they play using your toys.

The doll looks exactly like the picture. I love it.

Hello. I just discovered your dolls. They are awesome.

This doll will fly to France then it’s final home in Spain.

Your dolls are lovely. Brilliant gift idea.

Perfect gift for a baby shower if it is a girl

I bought the dolls because I want my girls to have representation even in their toys. I also wanted something locally made. So Umba Creations fit the bill perfectly!

Made in Kenya, a product made with love that not only the kids can see. Sustainable material and no plastic. Lovely design and colors.

I chose to buy from you because I think it’s important to buy kids toys that have meaning behind them and also embrace the African context. They also look great.

I bought from you because: The product is very neat and creative, I like that my daughter can play with a black doll that looks like her, great customer service.

My sister recommended the products to me because i love to support quality local brands. I loved the quality of the dolls aside from how adorable they are:) - to me it really matters when companies put thought into the quality of the products as i have had really bad experienced before - as well as the value messaging behind your products, esp on embracing diversity. I'd definititely buy them again.

My little niece is dealing with race issues in her school and I want to make her feel that black is beautiful and represented.

My sister Jane just got a little girl and I got her a doll. She loves it and is absolutely excited.
