Our kids shirts are made from Kikoy material which is a 100% cotton fabric which was originally worn by the Arab traders in Kenya’s coastal region. Over the years Swahili fisherman integrated the Kikoy fabric as part of their traditional dress because of its cooling and comfortable nature in tropical climates.
