Product Details
Everywhere you go in East Africa, you will see Kangas/Leso - a brightly coloured, rectangle of printed fabric with a Swahili saying. They are a vibrant part of daily life, used to carry babies, and layered as clothing. A Kanga carries great significance, as it marks the rhythm of Swahili life even from birth.
This Kanga has been made in Tanzania, and was purchased directly in Tanzania during our recent travels. The edges have been overlocked and it can be used this way - for a sarong, scarf, as a baby wrap or around the home as a play mat, a table cloth or as a decorative piece in your home . It can also be cut and remade into clothing, a cushion cover, bedding and bags.
If you wanted to purchase this Kanga and needed assistance to rework it and you had a project in mind, please contact me to discuss options to work together on it.
The Kanga is cotton and has not yet been washed, and I suggest you wash it by itself before using it.
Please message me if you have any queries regarding the colours printed on the Kanga. Please note colours may appear differently in photographs than on actual item. Due to the nature of this item it can contain small misprints and small weaving faults.
This listing is for one LARGE Kanga, not a pair.
Kanga dimensions:
65 inches (160cm) long
45 inches (115cm) wide
Care Instructions: cold wash on its own before use.
