African Fabrics

Mombasa, Kenya

About

African Fabrics, (Available in curio shops and markets throughout the city). Mombasa is one of the best place in Kenya to buy lesos (khangas) and kikois. Lesos are colorful printed fabrics that come in pairs and are traditionally worn by Swahili women. Kikois are typically striped or plaid and are typically worn as shawls. Lesos are sold at around 350 ksh, while Kikois are around 500 ksh. Prices vary with quality and may be higher in areas with lots of foot traffic from tourists (notably in Mombasa Old Town outside Fort Jesus).
