100% cotton kikoi. Designed by Alizwa Gigi, woven by us, and sold to help support better education in Plettenberg Bay.
Every year we invite the grade 8 class from the Crags Primary to the Mungo Mill, for a workshop that educates the students on how textiles are, and more importantly should, be made.
Each student designs a kikoi. One colourway is chosen and put into production.
‘Joy Division’ concludes our 2025 workshop, designed and named by Alizwa Gigi. The full proceeds from its sale help to fund a much-needed additional teacher at her school.
The Kids of Kurland Kikoi is an annual project that is organised by MOVE, our internal Social Responsibility Initiative. Since 2018, 1% of all profit is put towards initiatives that empower and uplift the Plettenberg Bay community in which our mill and flagship store is based.
Thank you for considering a purchase with a purpose.

I love purple, so I instantly wanted the Galaxy “Kids of Kurland Kikoi” when I saw it. It makes a great towel, but is also long enough to wrap around one, tie around the neck to act as a full body cover-up, etc. Usual excellent quality from Mungo. I’m very happy I followed my instincts 🙂

I bought this for a dear friend as a “just because” gift. She sent me a photo while wearing it and she looks beautiful! The colors are wonderful.
