All Kayoong items are handmade from wax print fabrics, using a crochet technique we developed here in Dakar, Senegal. All of our products make beautiful, unique gifts, and if you’re traveling, don’t worry — everything packs easily in a suitcase. Once you’re home, your Kayoong items can be machine washed and then reshaped to air dry fully before use.
