Miss Acacia dresses

Khanga’s are traditionally worn by women all over East Africa, Khangas are vibrant and versatile textiles worn over skirts, wrapped as dresses, as headscarves or even used to carry babies safely on their mothers’ backs. Each Khanga carries a Swahili saying - a message for a loved one or a friend. A Khanga can be chosen by an admirer declaring his love, by a daughter to thank her mother, by a friend wishing another good luck in life. Khangas are given to mark special occasions, religious feasts, birthdays and weddings and they are treasured for their bold colours,
patterns and designs.

Miss Acacia Khanga Dresses take the most beautiful African Khangas and tailor them to a contemporary design, capturing the spirit of African femininity for women all over the world. They are locally made and hand-finished in Kenya. We do not use intermediaries or mass labour and have created our own circle of women tailors who are fairly paid for their work and who benefit directly from the sale of our dresses. We are committed to maintaining this spirit by expanding that circle as our company grows and to training and employing jobless women.
