Kikoy is a Swahili word for wrap - but to say these are wraps is to say a Maserati is a car. 100% loomed cotton that is durable, absorbent, incredibly soft and only softens more with age and use, with a tight weave and proper seams along the length and long, eyelash style fringes on the short end, kikoy have a myriad of uses and is perhaps the ultimate in beach accessories. Just some of the great ideas include: beach blanket pool/beach towel sarong evening wrap scarf hair wrap baby sun shade baby backpack swaddling cloth curtains table cloth furniture cover car seat cover and so much more... Loomed in an "open factory" in South Africa where visitors are welcome by a company in the process of certification as a registered "B" Corporation. The company has an active Corporate Social Responsibility program that invests in the local community through children's enrichment programs, woman's empowerment programs, environmental programs and a "triple bottom line" approach of "people, planet and profit". Kikoy measure 35.5" wide by 6'3" long with vertical stripes running along the width. Machine wash warm, tumble dry low. Made in South Africa
