Description

An iconic textile of the Swahili coast, the kikoi has a history shaped by centuries of trade and cultural exchange across the Indian Ocean. Its striped cotton weave became a familiar part of everyday coastal life, traditionally worn as a hip wrap, sash, turban, or shoulder cloth.

Woven from extra-fine 100% cotton and sourced in Kenya, this super-soft edition carries that textile tradition forward. Lightweight, alive with color, and designed to soften further with wear, it can be worn as a scarf, skirt, shawl, or cover-up. It is finished with a large elephant charm individually made in Kenya from natural cow horn. No two charms are alike.

Machine washable and colorfast.
