Deeply ingrained in Swahili culture, kangas are ubiquitous on the Kenyan coast, worn as head coverings or shawls and around the waist. Characterized by a decorated border and Kiswahili phrase underlying a large central design, motifs take inspiration from the wide ranging cultural influences that have converged over a millennium along the Swahili coast, from the Persian boteh to Rajasthani bandhani to the Bantu cashew nut.
While the sayings were only added in the early 20th century, they are now are central to the textile. It's always fun to see who is wearing what, and why they chose it (or received it!). Sometimes the messages are political or commemorative, printed specifically for an event or organization, but often they're reflective of everyday life. Some of us can probably relate to "I won’t eat in the darkness for fear of my neighbor (I do what I want!)" and all of us can relate to, "There is no one like mom."
- PHPeggy H.Rated 1 out of 5 stars1 week agoDisappointed!
I had high hopes for my first Zuri shirt. The colors and pattern appeal greatly to me! That said, I am disappointed in both the layout of the print and quality of the fabric. Unlike the shirts pictured on the website, the one I got has an unsightly and distracting black stripe next to the placket. The fabric is loosely woven and flimsy. Sorry to have to send it back; it just doesn't meet the Zuri standard of excellence.
Zuri OU1 week agoHi Peggy!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your recent purchase, and I'm sorry to hear Diana was not up to expectations. Our kanga collection is meant to be more lightweight, but I completely understand why the pattern placement and material did not work for you. I've passed along your feedback and experience to our team, and I hope you'll give another one of our shirts a try! If you need any help with suggestions, please let us know, we'd love to help and/or answer any questions you may have!
If there's anything else we can help with, please feel free to let us know! Otherwise, we'll be on the lookout for your return.
Much love,
Charlotte from Zuri

As you know, I have a number of Zuri s -- all of which I love. I have more dresses than shirts, and this one was especially appealing because of the color wave and versatility. I'm not so good at photos but will try to send one.
