Khanga is the Swahili name for the brightly coloured cloth used in Africa for clothing, babywearing, table dressings among many other uses. Traditionally used in matched pairs they often come with a saying printed or stitched into them. We have taken some of the traditional Swahili sayings and translated them to English for our wraps. For ease in wrapping we have marked center of our wraps with a label that bears one of four different sayings. When selecting your wrap be sure to choose which saying you would like.
