Who We Are

A creative lifestyle brand

BERITO is a Malawian creative lifestyle brand creating meaningful experiences through creativity, curiosity, and human connection. We believe that creativity is not reserved for artists — it is a natural part of being human.

In a world filled with constant noise, distraction, and routine, BERITO creates opportunities for people to slow down, participate, and engage more intentionally with life. Through art, crafting, books, puzzles, walks, and shared experiences, we bring people together in ways that inspire presence, exploration, and connection.

More than a venue or activity provider, BERITO is building a culture that values participation over consumption, curiosity over routine, and connection over isolation. Every experience is designed around a simple philosophy:

Create. Explore. Connect.

Our Story

From brushes to a movement

BERITO began as Painting With Chim, a creative experience founded by award-winning visual artist Chimwemwe Luwanda.

After years of exhibiting and selling artwork, Chimwemwe realised that many people admired creativity from a distance but rarely had the opportunity to experience it for themselves. What began as guided painting experiences quickly became something much larger.

People were not only looking for art. They were looking for connection. They were looking for community. They were looking for meaningful ways to spend their time. As the experiences grew, so did the vision.

BERITO emerged from the belief that creativity extends beyond painting — it lives in books, conversations, puzzles, walks, ideas, shared experiences, and the simple act of making time for what matters. Today, BERITO continues to evolve as a home for curious minds, creative spirits, and anyone seeking a more intentional way to engage with the world.
