Collection: East African Kitenge

This vibrant East African textile brims with bold patterns, bright colours, and cultural heritage. Originating in Kenya and Uganda, it's a highly durable, easy-to-sew fabric that gives shape and form to any project. Perfect for distinctive clothing, statement accessories, or unique home decor. 

Our 100% cotton kitenge is crisp, no stretch and has a matte finish. Best used for structured garments like pleated skirts, shirts, and bell sleeve blouses.

We source our kitenge from Kenya, where this beautiful fabric reflects the bustling sights, sounds and culture of down-town Nairobi. 

Unique: bright, colourful and full of life.

Structured: perfect for dresses, skirts and shirts.

Versatile: durable, adaptable fabric. 

Easy-to-sew: great for beginner and advanced-level sewists.

Note: kitenge traditionally comes in 5.5 metre lengths with manufacturer labels on the front of each fabric piece. As a result, the longest length we can offer is 5 metres.
