Pre-order
The weave
Look for the seams where the strips meet. A printed tie doesn’t have them.

Ordered on my next buy. Each Kita piece comes off a different loom, so expect variation in the banding.

About Pagne Kita
Tighter and quieter than kente, with repeating bands in terracotta, black and cream. It reads as texture from across a room and as craftsmanship up close, which makes it the easiest of the three to wear with a plain shirt.
