Colorful Zimbabwe Kudhinda Textiles

Zimbabwe Kudhinda Textiles are stamped or imprinted patterns on thick high-quality cotton fabrics. In Shona, Kudhinda means to press, stamp or imprint. The textiles are usually distinct and carefully hand-printed using potato prints, screen prints, block prints, rubber blocks, and hand paintings.

They can be styled in traditional African colors or with animal prints in orange and blue colors, blue-green, monotone brown, classic rainbow color hollow pattern, and classic rainbow color elephant prints, amongst others.

The Zimbabwe cotton textiles are used for making crafts and upholstery including tablecloths, shopping bags, purses, shoes, shirts, wall hangings, pillows, cushion covers, organic t-shirts, and lamp shades.
