Kalulu Kids: Cool Threads Inspired By East Africa

New children’s wear brand, Kalulu Kids, melds ancient tradition with contemporary style to create a line of clothes that are fun, bright, comfy, and sophisticated. Inspired by African textiles, colors, and landscapes, the Kalulu Kids spring line is made entirely out of kikoy fabric–a durable, colorful cloth typically worn by East African men. The vibrant yet earthy tones make for a bold statement that’s as unique as your little one.

Inspired by cross-cultural children’s folklore, founder Milbert Kiggundu-Bentham named the line after the East African word for “hare,” an animal found in many children’s tales throughout the world. The NYC-based brand is in partnership with SCALEAfrica, a non-profit dedicated to building schools in sub-Saharan Africa. Why not do a little good this spring while re-vamping your child’s wardrobe? Support local, think global!
