Ash Cream Kiondo
Material Honesty | Cleansing | Origin
The original Kiondo emerges in cream - off-white - sisal in its purest form: beautiful, robust, and unmasked. This piece celebrates material honesty and cleansing. The colour emerges through traditional ash-based processes, producing a quietly luminous hue. In Kikuyu culture, ash symbolises purity, ancestral connection, and cleansing.
Primarily derived from wood, it was used as a soil enhancer, natural cleanser, and medicinal aid. This Kiondo honours the fibre without obscuring it, symbolising purification and renewal - a preparation of the body and spirit before the next phase of becoming.
Accessories used:
Styled with Vicky Ngari cream satin kaftan.
Measurements:
Size: S
Fabric / Material Composition
Handwoven sisal fibre | traditional ash-mineral dye | hand-formed brass
