In response to the question, "what's a chitenje?"

The amazing, versatile chitenje!
Now, for a limited time, only 1,200 kwacha! ($3)

Nothing embodies the culture of Africa quite like these beautiful two meter piece of printed fabric. They come in all colors, designs, and patterns. Mostly worn as wrap skirts or head wraps, chitenje (plural zitenje) are all-purpose fabrics that can be use in 100+ different ways. 



Forget your bag at the market? No problem! Wrap up your items in a chitenje for a quick makeshift sack. 

Can't afford a baby carrier? Use a chitenje to tie your baby to your back. 

Too cold? Wrap a chitenje around your shoulders like a scarf or shawl. 

Use zitenje as towels, blankets, window curtains, diapers, tablecloths, pillow covers, book bags, cleaning cloths, chair covers, flags, advertisement, decoration... The possibilities are endless! 

Or, bring the fabric to your local tailor and get beautiful, custom designed chitenje clothes made just for you! You will look stylish and trendy sporting the national fashion of Malawi. 



So quick! Act now, before these amazing, versatile cloths sell out. 

But wait! There's more! Come to Malawi to visit me and we'll throw in an authentic Malawian chitenje completely free! (Limited time offer)
