What to buy in Mozambique? Being into textiles we have to at least have a look at capulanas, the multifunctional pieces of cloth Mozambican women not only wear, but use for a lot of other purposes to. Carry your kid in it, use it as a towel, serviette, suitcase, or fill your treasure-trunk with them; the applications are many.
Another great Christmas-gift is the book about the history, symbolic meanings and daily use of capulanas. This particular design for instance is for the traditional healers and soothsayers.
Having a look leads to buying. Back home Bram proudly hops on the catwalk with his Frelimo-cloth.
