Lulu Oniang'o crafted six vibrant hand towels for Sina, infusing each with a unique Kitenge design and personalized symbols, creating a truly beautiful and functional ensemble. What's your wish?
A request by Sina Uti-Waziri from Rheinstetten, Germany
6 small uni-colour hand towels (approximately 29 cm x 45cm) with Kitenge border, Kitenge loop for hanging and a small (approx. 4×4 cm) symbol sown onto both sides – also from Kitenge material. Symbols should be different for each towel and could be star, moon, circle, triangle, cloud, tree – I am open for suggestions. Colours of the towels could be 2x blue, 2x green, 2x orange. The Kitenge material should be colourful but no purple or pink.
