Classically stylish, with a relaxed, laid-back vibe, the Bushbells colourful kikoy collection is as good for you as it is for the community where it's made: Watamu, Kenya. Our profits support ongoing educational projects in Watamu with every purchase you make.
"I love them. Cool when it's warm; warm when it's cool. Comfy and fun. I got a pair many years ago in Kenya, and wore them to death so delighted to find you and support your good work. Keep it up. And yes, living in them during lockdown. They’ve been the bottoms to many a Zoom jacket and tie upper half. Thanks so much, Dom T"
Bushbells Highlights
Kikoys: The Perfect Lightweight Travel Companions
Kikoys were once used as trading 'currency' along the East African coast. The original version is a true multitasking hero: wear it as a sarong, skirt, head wrap or scarf; use it as a beach towel, light summer blanket or bed throw.
Our happy ethical kikoy clothing collection will bring you colour and sunshine. Inspired by beautiful Kenya, the Bushbells team is proud of their East African heritage, reflected in our joyful kikoy clothing - designed with easy-to-wear comfort in mind.
Kikoys are timeless and versatile. Universal appeal for young and old alike! Available in colourful stripes or blocks of plain colours – the choice is yours.

Colourful Kikoy Clothes with a Conscience
Our ethos is very simple:
We employ a dedicated team of four tailors to make your clothes using materials sourced from the Kenyan coast. We invest our profits back into this same community.
Thanks to your support we've already built one school and are half-way through building our second school. Your purchase helps us to provide ongoing funds to build more classrooms, buy curriculum books, give bursaries and food for a daily breakfast club — feeding 115 children and 8 teachers.
You have the choice to make an ethical purchase, knowing 'who made your clothes'.
Principles over profits.
