Kitenge face mask with string
Kitenge face mask with string
These funky face masks are tailored from colourful African kitenge fabrics! They are made by disabled Ugandan artisans. The fabric is comfortable cotton and the design makes it easy to put the face mask on when you need it and let it hang around your neck when you don’t need to have it over your face. Attached with a string. Thick fabric that keeps you safe but is still comfortable to use.
Materials: cotton. The fabrics may bleed. Wash separately at 30°C.
Each product is handmade, often by women who lack basic numerical skills and cannot use a tape measure. However, they put all their love and care into each product. We hope that you find the tiny variations in size, pattern, and colours as part of the charm of the product!
