Bridget Meyer was born in a tiny African
village on the Zambesi River only 5 miles
from the Victoria Falls in Zambia. In
1990, she moved with her husband, Bob
Meyer, to Minneapolis, U.S. There, they
decided to start up a company importing
fine African crafts to America.
TOKA began in the bedroom of Bridget and
Bob’s Minneapolis apartment. As the
business grew they moved into several
larger warehouses. In 2001, they moved
their business to Smith River, California.
Their current warehouse is in Crescent
City, CA and shipping is done from nearby
Brookings, Oregon.
TOKA maintains two warehouse sites in
Zambia and currently works with
approximately 400 African weavers. All of
the weavers work from their home and weave
at their own pace.
