KIMONO HISTORY

The kimono is a popular formal garment worn in Japan and there are so many places to shop African print kimonos online via retailers of African fashion.
The idea of using African wax prints to create the kimono creates a new extension of the Japanese garment in a bid to mesh the core values of both cultures together.
In ancient times, kimonos were worn to many important occasions such as weddings and tea parties.
Today, the kimono can be worn on a daily basis for just about any type of event.
It is so trendy that it fits into any scenario seamlessly and the style is well known enough to be appreciated by many.
First, let us take a closer look at how the kimono became so trendy as an article of fashion. — Add to Cart The item has been added

Paulie Serenade Kanga Kimono

History of the Kanga
As early as the 1850s or 1860s, women in the coastal regions of Kenya and Tanzania (perhaps around Lamu or Pate,
but most likely in Mombasa or Zanzibar) began buying uncut lineal sheets of six handkerchief squares,
called leso in Portuguese, cutting the lengths in half and sewing them together lengthwise
to create larger rectangular cloths with two rows of three pattern squares each.

By 1875, enterprising merchants in Zanzibar began to import modified leso from England,
Switzerland, India, and the Netherlands. Leso eventually also took the name of khanga,
possibly because a popular early print included small spots similar to the coloration of the guinea fowl, called khanga in Kiswahili.
Around the turn of the century, leso/khanga became especially popular in Zanzibar,appearing at the moment that many former slaves were intent on visually separating themselves from their past and redefining themselves as newly independent, and fashionable, individuals. — Out of stock
