How to Choose the Right Size When Gifting African Clothing
• Know her general size (S, M, L, XL, etc.) or ask a friend who knows her
• When in doubt, go up a size - most African styles can be tailored down
• For boubous and kaftans, sizing is very forgiving as they are designed to flow
• Our store has a detailed size guide to help you find the right fit
The Gift of Cultural Identity
There is something profoundly meaningful about gifting someone a piece of their culture - especially when they are living far from home. For an African woman in America, receiving an ankara gown or a kitenge set is not just receiving clothes. It is receiving a reminder that someone sees her fully - all of her, including the part that still hums old songs and dreams of the motherland.
