Why choose Kikoy™
The history of the Kikoy (also spelt Kikoi) is a traditional hand-woven East African garment worn by local fishermen in Kenya and Tanzania. Kikoy is made from 100% cotton that is grown and harvested in East Africa. The woven fabric is dyed with bright dyes resulting in a traditional sarong with vibrant colours that represent the spirit of the East African people
Today Kikoy is still hand-loomed though it is often machine-loomed to increase quality and production quantities and can be made into a variety of pieces from sarongs and beach towels to trousers and dressing gowns
