The Worst Friends Podcast

This week, the gang pulls up in the studio with the creative mind and entrepreneur behind Criptoons and Cripville Mwaniki cripville is the underground streetwear and accessories brand whose custom chains have become a staple across Gen-Z fashion.

We break down the entire blueprint of building a product brand in Nairobi from ground zero:

• The Inception: Starting out in 2025 posting raw, frame-by-frame 2D animations and digital art on Instagram using free software like Inkscape and CapCut.

• From Services to Products: Moving past basic graphic design commissions to launch poker cards, clothing tests, and eventually signature chain pendants.

• The Production Pipeline: Prototyping designs on a laptop, troubleshooting high-cost epoxy resin, and pivoting to laser-cut color acrylic for durability and lower overhead.

• The Drop Strategy: Creating limited drops that sell out in under two months, managing perceived value, and planning future expansions into custom bracelets and belts.

• The Tangents: High school shenanigans, the realities of unemployment and student life, navigating Nairobi street culture, cultural takes on witchcraft vs. belief, and why having a tight circle of friends is critical to getting a brand off the ground in 2026.

We close out the session with our weekly music, album, and binge-watch recommendations from pure Kenyan music playlists to Apple TV dramas.
