Our trendy men’s African print clothing collection is great for wearing casually, on holiday, at the beach and for standing out in a crowd at parties and music festivals.
Be prepared to receive lots of compliments as people wonder where on earth you found such a funky, unique and colourful clothing item! You will certainly not find anything similar to wear on the high street.
Read on to find out why our African menswear is great to wear all summer long and for all occasions!
1) African wax print clothing brightens your mood and lets you have fun due to its vibrant colours and bold prints.

2) Kitenge’s African print clothing is handmade using 100% cotton ankara fabric, which keeps you nice and cool in warm weather.

3) As all our fabrics are made using 100% cotton they are extremely comfortable to wear. The more you wash them, in the machine or by hand, the softer the material becomes!

4) All our kitenge fabrics are locally sourced in Tanzania and because they are original, African produced fabrics, their quality is exceptional.
Furthermore, our unique clothes are individually handcut by our tailors in Tanzania. Therefore, the print placement varies ensuring no two items are ever the same. Pretty cool hey?!

5) Our colourful wax print fabrics will look the same for many years to come, as their colorfastness is also fantastic.

6) Stand out in a crowd and get noticed by wearing a Kitenge shirt and perhaps a pair of trousers too! Life is too short to wear dull and boring clothes.
