Kikoys

What is a kikoy?

The kikoy is a traditional handwoven Kenyan cloth with colorful and cheerful designs. It's a type of hammam towel made of cotton lined with terrycloth. All kikoys have a handy sewn-in pouch that closes with Velcro. Originally, men in Africa wore the kikoy as a garment, but today this multifunctional cloth is seen as a trendy accessory for the beach and sauna.

Why a kikoy?

As mentioned, these are cheerful towels, lightweight, moisture-absorbent, quick-drying, and supple. They're a good choice if you find a hammam towel a bit too thin and a traditional beach towel too thick. Despite their double layer, the kikoy is still easy to fold into a small package and takes up little space. The kikoy can be used as a beach towel , during a picnic, or as a shawl, and is also perfect for taking to the sauna.

The benefits of a kikoy beach towel

• Quick-drying
  A kikoy is made of 100% cotton and therefore dries faster than a standard terrycloth beach towel. Ideal for a day at the beach or pool, you can use it again quickly after a dip.

• Lightweight and compact
  Despite its double layer of fabric, a kikoy remains light and easy to fold. This means it fits effortlessly in your beach bag and takes up minimal space.

• Versatile use
  Whether you use it as a beach towel, picnic blanket, wrap, or even a sarong, a kikoy is multifunctional and suitable for any occasion. It's also a popular choice for saunas.

• Stylish and trendy
  A kikoy beach towel is available in a variety of colors and patterns, so you're sure to find one that suits your style. The vibrant colors and traditional African weaving techniques make it a real eye-catcher.

• Sustainable and environmentally friendly
  High-quality kikoys are woven tightly and are durable, even after frequent washing. Some models are also made from organic cotton or recycled materials, making them an environmentally friendly choice.
