...Men you have not been forgotten!

What is a Kapulana?

Throughout diverse Africa you will come across this fabric, also known as lalesso, or kanga, made in endless colours and patterns, depending on where you go. Aliva integrates 100% cotton kapulanas in her work.

In tune with the inherent oral tradition and with the love for proverbs some kapulanas have provebs imprinted on the fabric, like the fun swahili phrase 'My love is like no other' or 'Super Afripride'. You will notice that the capulana is typically worn by the women as a skirt, 'wrap around', or to carry the baby on the back or simply as audacious head wrap. More elaborate outfits are made with capulana for special occassions, a wedding, formal or social functions, or to simply celebrate their pride of heritage.

Men also dare wear the exotic design yet we will launch our first attempt to lure more manly interest in a special form...more to come..

Reveal a cultural story with a simple design

Maputo, capital of Mozambique, along the turquoise Indian ocean of southern Africa is a hidden jewel. Young artisans and designers are busy creating colourful items out of simple yet clever natural products.. in back alleys, sewing up the latest fashions from their bedrooms and surprisingly it often emerges via word of mouth...

How can we encourage and bring out their works, in and outside this continent?
