Kilombera Weavers - kikoi 'towel' (turquoise with design)

Kilombera Weavers have one of the only looms left in Uganda producing hand loomed kikoi towels and other beautiful cotton items!

A kikoi is semi absorbent for use as a towel or can alternatively be used as a shawl, table/surface covering, small picnic blanket etc. 

[Kilombera is the name of a rare weaver bird found in parts of East Africa. For a male weaver bird to find a mate it must spend hours weaving an intricate and attractively designed nest. Kilombera products have been handwoven on traditional hand looms with the same attention to detail.

Registered in 2004, with only two weavers, Kilombera now supports eight weavers, two tailors, and one admin staff. All training is done in house and some of the staff have been with the company since the very beginning.]
