The Kapulana is a name given for a traditional cloth in Mozambique. This cloth has many uses, but its main use is when native women wrap it around their waist as a form of skirt. The different patterns and their intricacies suggest a social status maybe? The cloth is also used to make dresses, pants, bags and to adorn hats and such. I love this cloth because of its beautiful patterns, colour and variety of its uses. When I was in Mozam, I had two garments made from the Kapulana.
There are many traditional cloths in Africa that we can begin to enjoy for example the Seshwewe print. (soon to come post)
ENJOY THE AFRICAN PRINT…
