Kitenge kitenge!

In Africa, people dress very nice! Or at least the women do! They wear fabric (called kitenge) of every color and pattern. They mix the fabrics in ways that no one would do in Sweden but it looks amazing!


This is one shop at the market, selling the fabric.
Every piece is 1,5-3 meters long and costs between 5 000 – 10 000 Tanzanian shilling (25 – 50 Swedish crowns), depending on what material it is made of and how it has been processed.

All the vitenge we bought... so far!
This is us in the dresses we have had made from the kitenge we have bought! Many more are to come!
