Ndosho

Ndosho is a Swahili word referring to a type of traditional Kenyan dress, primarily worn by women in the coastal regions. These garments are characterized by their vibrant colors, intricate embroidery, and often, bold patterns. Traditionally, Ndoshos were made of cotton or silk and were worn during special occasions, celebrations, and religious ceremonies.

The designs and motifs on Ndoshos often carry cultural significance, reflecting the wearer's heritage, status, or personal story. While Ndoshos remain a significant part of coastal Kenyan culture and are still worn for important events, contemporary designs and materials have also emerged, blending tradition with modern fashion trends. Ndoshos are also popular souvenirs for tourists visiting the Kenyan coast.
