These fabric wrapped bangles were made in Mozambique. The fabric that is used is referred to as Capulana which is considered a traditional fabric and is a vibrant cotton cloth with dynamic prints. Its ability to fulfil multiple roles in everyday life is a major part of its charm. For instance, it’s often used as a shawl against the cold and a protective cover from the sun. Mozambican mothers use it as a sling which is called “neneca“ to carry their babies on their backs. Women working in the country side wrap it around their skirts as a dust barrier. But it’s popular with local tailors who fashion it into shoes, cushion covers, bags, clothes, and interior decor items.
