Introducing the delightful 'Khanga' Giraffe set!
 
Kenya is well known for its wildlife, and the Taita artisans work in the heart of the Tsavo where many of them can be found.
 
These animals are made out of pure cotton Khanga!  Khanga is the Swahili name for a colourfully patterned fabric that is very popular in Kenya.
 
Women across villages in Kenya typically sow their clothes out of Khanga, or else simply use the original rectangular khanga material to wrap around themselves as a skirt.
The inside of the animals consists of polyester stuffing and their eyes are embroidered with cotton thread.
 
Add a pop of colour to nurseries and the rooms of young children by displaying these wonderful animals on their shelves!
