Why choose Kikoy

• The history of the Kikoy (also spelt Kikoi), is a traditional hand-woven East African fabric 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, Azo free 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. It can be made into a variety of pieces from sarongs and beach towels to trousers and dressing gowns.

Why choose our COLLARS

• The collars are made by Elimu Sewing Project in Kenya which supports young women from vulnerable backgrounds to pursue a 2-year training program which equips them with income-generating skills and a sewing trade

• Our glass beads are fully recyclable and are coloured using natural dyes

• Glass beads are a particularly good alternative to plastic beads because when it breaks down, it remains safe and stable and releases no harmful chemicals into the surrounding environment

• Glass also takes far less energy to produce and has a long life span

• We only use leather byproducts from the meat industry, the leather would otherwise be wasted

• Additionally, our leather is only coloured using natural dyes. It will last a lifetime and be passed onto future generations. It is the antithesis of fast fashion.
