Curated Boutique and Creative Space

About KIWAVI Exchange

Nestled in Cincinnati’s lively Market District, our boutique store is distinguished by a collection meticulously curated by our esteemed Retail Curator, Erika-Rae Griffin.

From jewelry and art to skincare and more, each item is carefully selected for its exceptional quality, distinctive design, and the unique story it tells. Our inspiration lies in partnering with business owners of color who bring a deep level of intention to their work, ensuring our customers feel assured and confident in their purchases.

Shopping at KIWAVI Exchange contributes to a flourishing and diverse small business community while connecting you with items you may not find anywhere else.
