Discover the culture of Kikoys by exploring our website, understand the tradition and history of a Kikoy, an East African version of a wrap or sarong.
Kikoys are a most beautiful piece of woven cotton, rectangular in shape, traditionally a garment for men which have now evolved into an invaluable item of clothing for all ages, sizes and sexes! There are hundreds of ways to wear a Kikoy and masses of uses for them, from a sarong to a sling or a turban to beach towel, or a cover up to a curtain, embrace the ethos of Kikoys!
A Kikoy (also known as kikoi) is by no means a simple rectangle of pure cotton, but a work of art inspired by the vibrant colours of the coastline in this area, using old methods combined with new colourfast dyes our Kikoys are fabulous!
