Kikoi
A kikoi is a traditional rectangle of woven cloth originating from Africa. Considered a part of Swahili culture, the kikoi is mostly worn by the coastal men but now also includes the Maasai people of Kenya. as well as men from Tanzania and Zanzibar. It is most commonly viewed a type of sarong.
The kikoi is made of cotton and patterns are woven rather than dyed into the fabric. As with all sarongs, it is a single piece of cloth which is wrapped around the waist, and rolled over outwards a couple of times. Outside of their intended use as a sarong, they can be used as a sling to hold a baby, towel, or a head wrap.
The kikoi emerged from cultural exchange between East Africans and their trading partners from nations like Somalia centuries ago. The garment remains a popular souvenir for tourists visiting Kenya.
