kangaUSA - Frequently Asked Questions

What is a kanga?
A kanga is a traditional African wrap that is used by men and women alike

throughout East Africa. Kangas originated in East Africa back in the 19th century. Although copied in many countries, a "genuine kanga" has 3 distinct characteristics - it's 100% cotton; it's made in East Africa; and it contains a Swahili proverb or saying. The kanga is still evolving. Like the T-shirt, but incomparably more elegant and useful, it is a medium for personal, social and religious expression. As an art form, as well as a beautiful textile, the kanga has become an integral part of East African culture.
