7 ways to style your Kichana
100% Produced in South Africa
Our current Kichana collection draws its inspiration from the West African Mali Mud Cloth. "The Kichana wrap is machine knitted using 100% cotton yarn that is produced in South Africa."
Step 1: Cotton
Our Kichana wraps are made from 100% cotton yarn cultivated in South Africa.
Step 2: Yarn
The yarn is sourced from a cotton spinning mill in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
Step 3: Dyeing
The yarn is dyed in Worcester by one of the only cotton dyers in the Western Cape.
This process is effluent friendly, which means they make sure not to pollute the water afterwards with the dyes.
Step 4: Knitting
Our Kichana wraps are knitted on electronic knitting machines, they are made in a 10 Gauge knit.
Gauge is the looseness or the tightness of a knitted fabric.
