Join a Swahili tradition with your own colorful kanga shopping bag. Cotton kanga cloth in festive colors and patterns forms this bag, which folds into its own pouch (inside the bag). These bags come in assorted patterns and colors.

Kanga cloth evolved among former slaves in East Africa in the early 1900s. As a bright form of self-expression, it includes patterns and proverbs or messages that are a form of cultural communication between women, commenting on their lives and relationships. Kanga cloth embodies emancipation, freedom and self-expression. It is used for bags, carrying children, tablecloths and wall hangings. The kanga is a cornerstone of Swahili life.
