{"product_id":"the-kanga-towel-8012","title":"THE KANGA TOWEL","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe kanga is one of East Africa’s most beloved textiles: a cotton cloth worn along the Swahili coast for more than a century as a wrap, shawl, baby sling, head covering, and gift marking life’s milestones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, each kanga is distinguished by a central design, known as the mji, a border called the pindo, and a Swahili proverb printed along the bottom. These messages speak of patience, wisdom, love, resilience, and quiet defiance. At times, opposing proverbs are worn as gentle disagreements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from a vintage kanga sourced in Tanzania, this limited-edition towel preserves the textile’s original design, message, and character. Kenyan artisans back it with soft terry, creating a generously sized towel for wrapping up, laying out, or bringing to the beach, sauna, or home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine washable and colorfast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Elephant Way","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48720731406436,"sku":"8012-OS","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/9716\/3620\/files\/KANGA-TOWEL-8012-KANGA-SIDE.jpg?v=1783562787","url":"https:\/\/www.theelephantway.com\/products\/the-kanga-towel-8012","provider":"The Elephant Way","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
