Please note

The photograph shows the shuka folded in its sealed packaging, as it ships. Check placement at the hems varies a little from piece to piece, and colours can differ between screens.

Cultural context & artisan story

The shuka is the signature cloth of the Maasai, worn knotted over one shoulder or wrapped against the cold of the high plains, and red is its first colour, tied in Maasai tradition to bravery and unity. So recognisable is the red check that it reads as East Africa at a glance, on the street or on a sofa.

Product description

Overview

A traditional Maasai shuka in red and black check, 200 by 150 cm. The shuka is the hardwearing woven cloth worn across Maasai country in Kenya and Tanzania, and this is the classic colourway, bold red squares on black. Use it as a wrap or shawl, a throw over a sofa or bed, a picnic and beach blanket, or a backdrop and prop for photography; it packs small and shakes clean, which is why it has been the travelling cloth of East Africa for generations. The photograph shows the shuka folded in its sealed packaging, the way it arrives. If you like the cloth, the same shop sews it into a bottle carrier that makes a matching gift. Machine wash cool and line dry.
