WHY OUR KITENGE PRODUCTS ARE LIMITED EDITION...

Our fabrics are sourced from the textile markets of Nairobi, Kenya. This makes finding the same pattern in large quantities really difficult. As a result, our patterns are constantly evolving and changing. So if you like a pattern go for it! It may never come back!
