Find our products made from dashiki fabric
The word dashiki comes from the Yoruba word danshiki. Its original meaning is a loose-fitting tunic for men, comfortable enough to be worn in hot weather. Yoruba borrows this term from Hausa: dan ciki means "underneath" in that language. The Yoruba danshiki is a work garment, which has deep armholes with pockets and four gussets to create a flared effect at the bottom.
It was originally made of several pieces of handmade striped fabric. Similar tunics have been found in a Dogon tomb in Mali, dating from the 12th and 13th centuries.
