Lamu rd - Shirt of the day Dec 4th
This shirt is an Ode to Lamu, a series of islands off the East coast of Kenya in the Indian Ocean.
Sensitive yet thorny!
I know this shirt might look overwhelming at first as a men’s cowboy shirt – it once reminded me of a couch my Nana once had – BUT it looks amazing on! The purple snaps make this shirt! Have a look at our tailor come model, Timothy, having a sensitive and thorny moment in this shirt. Im telling you, this shirt is incredible!

- Moi ave – Shirt of the day Dec 3rd
Buy the Moi ave shirt at www.kilakituclothing.com
And so the day began with naming a shirt after Kenya’s long feared and respected ex-president: M-O-I. My Kenyan friends tell me that the country feared Moi and his secret police so much that if you wanted to talk about him, you would need to look around the room and refer to him discreetly as “emm oh eye” – somehow that was safer 
Daniel Arap Moi - Kenya's ex-president
SK rockin the Moi ave.
I love this shirt for how bold the color red is and the red snaps and the red pattern – it is just amazing. And have you seen how awesome “SK” (our model) looks in it? Dont let the slightly overexposed photo trick you (we are kinda still figuring out how to take our product pics – outside!) – look at the model pics and you’ll fall in love with this shirt. Rock on!

Njugu lane - Shirt of the day Nov 30th
Ndugu is kiswahili for brother or roughly translated as comrade. Here are a few of the reasons I love this shirt:
- Njugu lane is a street in Nairobi (see map) with big mosques (and churches?) on it AND its also just behind Biashara st where I get our snaps from!
- The word Njugu sounds alot like Ndugu – which is a really fun word to say in Swahili
- I am a convert to brown on brown on brown – even though I dont really wear brown myself, for anyone who does: this shirt can take the prize your/their wardrobe! Amazing!
