A Pan- African Inspired Design

I was very lucky to find a kitenge material that was stained with  a pattern that literally  looks like a cut-off from the Kenyan flag colors. Within a whisk we fused it with black and red colored jersey material. What you see is the female black version of one of tees.
Having been born in Kenya and grown up in different parts of world am not the patriotic type yet like a friend whisper to me, everyone comes from somewhere no matter how wonderful or doleful it is, its home and somehow I've begun finding peace with Kenya among all its contradictions.

Dreams of Africa - Baby blanket/ Baby Carpet Maasai Collection

Dreams of Africa -  Baby blanket/ Baby Carpet Maasai Collection

Inspired by the native maasai blanket, this super soft baby blanket that can also be used as a baby carpet is one of our favorite garments. This wonderful item is a warm blanket for your baby and also a soft play-mat.

 On the outside it features a heavy rough material that breaks the cold and wind. It's especially nice in winter and springtime or Fall when a more moderate warmer blanket is needed. This wrap is hand constructed with great care from quality polar fleece.

So warm and comfortable that you'll possibly want several colors and designs. 

This blanket will fit babies up to 18 months old. It is great for walks or jogs outside with your little one. It will keep your baby warm on those chilly days or evenings!  

Indoors it can also be used as a baby carpet or play-mat that allows for a soft warm playground, as well in summer and spring picnics can be used as a picnic blanket, cause of its strong exterior, the material is able to withstand lots of different grounds.

One side is solid color fleece, the other one is a colorful maasai native pattern. It's a perfect gift for a baby shower, for a toddler party, for a christening.

Feature: soft/springy, texture/easy, care/reasonable

Dreams of Africa - Maasai Blankets/wraps collection

Dreams of Africa – Maasai blankets/wraps collection


One of the most outstanding polar fleece maasai blankets that I have ever offered....this lovely garment really stands out in the crowd. Vibrant colors of red, green, yellow and blue in a native maasai  design, make this blanket/wrap an eye catcher. And, it is constructed from premium polar fleece. This is by far one of my most favorite blankets/wraps.


It's a handsome, generous blanket/wrap rectangular in shape, measuring approximately for small:  width 38 inches and length 58 inches whilst the large width 58 inches and length 76 inches


Shawl, picnic blanket, baby carpet, travel blanket whatever you want to call this warm, fleecy garment, it is wonderful to wear/cover as a warm wrap or to keep handy in the car for travel, to take to picnic (spring, autumn or winter), to the farm/ranch or anywhere it might be on the chilly side. Also great to keep in the media room for watching tv on cool evenings. One of the beauties of this garment is that the both sides  are strong and will last for a good period depending on how you use it, especially for kids you may see them use it from toddler to early teens. And can be used for both intimate and public occasions


Makes a wonderful gift as one size fits most--great for any baby, child, young, senior and in-between. Practical and economical. Can be hand washed or thrown into the washing machine and then into the drier and comes out looking good and ready to wear.


All blankets/wraps are new and worn only for photo purposes.
