Our first bucket hat collection is available in three colours—Natural (pictured here), Khaki, and Charcoal. 🌿

Every hat is lined with a Tanzanian kanga featuring the msemo:

MOYO WENYE AMANI NI CHANZO CHA MAFANIKIO
“A peaceful heart is the foundation of success.”

Swipe to see the kanga, then choose either the pindo (the decorative border) or the mji (the central panel) as your lining.

• KSh 3,500
• Made to order. Please allow up to one week for your hat to be embroidered and prepared. 💛

For the first Mapenzi Ya Kanga hat collection, you can choose whether your hat is lined with the pindo (the decorative border) or the mji (the central panel) from a beautiful Tanzanian kanga featuring the msemo:

MOYO WENYE AMANI NI CHANZO CHA MAFANIKIO
“A peaceful heart is the foundation of success.”

It’s one of my favourite details of the collection.

• Available in Natural, Khaki, and Charcoal, with your choice of pindo or mji lining
• KSh 3,500
• Made to order. Please allow up to one week for your hat to be embroidered and prepared 💛

Over the past few years, I’ve rarely left the house without a hat. 🌿

I have melasma, so protecting my face from the sun has become part of my daily routine. Over time, what began as a necessity has become something I genuinely love to wear.

So when I started thinking about a new project for Mapenzi Ya Kanga, creating hats felt like the most natural next step. Each one combines hand embroidery with a kanga lining, bringing together two things I love.

For this first collection, I’ve embroidered a botanical motif inspired by a flowering vine in the WonderHouse garden (Our WonderHouse). Each hat is lined with a kanga featuring the msemo:

MOYO WENYE AMANI NI CHANZO CHA MAFANIKIO
“A peaceful heart is the foundation of success.”

It felt like the perfect message for this new chapter of Mapenzi Ya Kanga.

Available in Natural, Khaki, and Charcoal, with your choice of pindo or mji lining.

KSh 3,500

Made to order. Please allow up to one week for your hat to be embroidered and prepared. đź’›
