Khangas and Kitange originated on the coast of East Africa in the mid-19th century. Khanga designs have evolved over the years, from simple spots and borders to a huge variety of elaborate patterns of every conceivable motif and colour. For a century, khangas and Kitange were mostly designed and printed in India.


New khanga and Kitange designs keep appearing in great variety - simple or intricate abstract patterns; homely themes such as chickens, crops, babies and fertility; pictures of famous attractions like mountains, monuments and wildlife.

They are still evolving. Like the T-shirt, but incomparably more elegant and useful, it is a valuable medium for personal, political, social and religious expression. As an art form as well as a beautiful, convenient garment, they have become an integral part of East African culture.
