ABOUT UZURI KIDZ

It all started in the year 1997, when our family was visited by my cousin and her mother. At that time, finding decorative materials that suited the African-American culture was a big deal. We went to stores and then we always got responses like “we don’t get such requests frequently. You have to order specially” or “Such stuffs don’t sell very well”. Some even told us that the sales of such materials have been discontinued. Those comments motivated us to start producing the hand-made versions of the materials using any relevant resource we could get.

…then we saw that it was good…

We then decided to expand our reach by making items like cups, plates, napkins, gift bags and totes, all in the African-American style. In 2004 UZURI KIDZ was one of the first companies to create and design for retail sales of this product line which filled the void in the market place. Parents can purchase their complete party attires on our website.
