Kikoy fabric in Nairobi
A kikoi is traditionally a rectangle of woven cloth originating from Africa, particularly along the east coast as far south as the Horn of Africa. It's most commonly viewed a type of sarong. As with all sarongs it is a single piece of cloth which is wrapped around the waist, and rolled over outwards a couple of times. However to the people native to that part of Africa, they're much more versatile and ubiquitous. They can be used as a sling to hold a baby, towel, headwrap etc.
