Kikoi Shawls 74"long x 40"wide
Regular price $115These items are unique.
Next to the only fuel station in a sleepy village in Southern Mozambique, you’ll find a small shop with authentic hand-woven kikois--a traditional woven rectangle of East African fabric used as a shawl, a sarong, a robe, or even a bag. The owner is from Mozambique and his wife from Angola.
The main weaver is from Zanzibar and uses an old loom to create his beautiful one-of-a-kind designs.
Everyone is part of the process; from collecting the plants for cotton dyeing, to weaving and promoting the business.
The kikois are made from harvested, spun and natural dyed cotton. Recently, because of a shortage of plant material, these makers of kikois have had to make a change from 100% natural dyes to synthetic dyes.
The results, as always, are beautiful and fashionable...........having been used and appreciated by Madonna and Prince Harry to name a few.
Dimensions: A generous 74"L x 40"W

What about duties, customs, and additional fees?
Please be aware that all orders shipping outside of the United States, no matter which shipping option is used, may be subject to additional duties, import taxes, or brokerage or customs fees upon delivery.
These fees are calculated by your local government customs officials and we cannot estimate them prior to shipment. While we take steps to minimize or eliminate the cost of importing for our customers, we are required by law to provide accurate information to customs officials. Marking an order as a 'Gift' will not prevent fees from being charged.
Delays in customs are becoming increasingly common. Final delivery may take longer to some international destinations due to border restrictions and potential holds at customs.
Unfortunately, we cannot control or prevent this type of delay. Please be sure to include a local telephone number and email where you can be reached when placing your order. We recommend checking with your local customs authorities in advance of ordering to determine your country's specific import requirements.
