Red & Black Check
£58
KSh 2,400 for delivery inside Kenya
The shuka most people picture when they think of the Maasai. A deep crimson ground crossed with a bold black check, woven as one full-size cloth with a knotted fringe along the short edges.
Red carries bravery and unity. It is the colour of identity, and the one worn by the warriors — which is why it is the cloth people reach for first.

How it is worn
Over one shoulder and knotted. Around both shoulders like a cape. Wrapped at the waist. Doubled over a bed, thrown across a chair. There is no wrong way, and nobody in Kenya is checking.
Delivery & returns
Tracked air post from Nakuru, 5–13 days to the UK. Returns within 14 days if unused and unwashed — message us first. Return postage is yours and it is slow from Kenya. If the cloth is faulty, that is ours to fix.
Why it costs what it costs
A fair buying price in Kenya, packaging, tracked international postage, the payment fee, and a margin that makes this a business rather than a favour. Nothing hidden and nothing padded.
