Show Me Your Mumu
June 13, 2011
I just discovered this fun and versatile line of clothing called Show Me Your Mumu. The mumu can be worn with a slip as a short dress, as a long tunic with pants, or over a bikini as a cover up. I would even belt it for a more fitted and slimmer look. My favorite piece from the collection is the Wendy Topslip in peacock and solid black.
What really caught my attention about this brand is their special line called Care for Kenya Series. (Both of my parents were born and raised in Kenya) Each mumu in this line is produced by women in Kenya from local fabrics to help generate a reliable and sustainable income for these women who are deeply affected by HIV/AIDS and have limited work capabilities. All proceeds of this mumu will not only be direct towards expanding the program in the hopes of reaching more and more vulnerable women in Kenya, but a large contribution will be given back to the women of Kibera who have contributed their time and hard work to the line. Check out the lovely mumu's from the Kenya collection here.

Very cool - we grew up in Africa, too! :) Botswana.
I just got a couple of swim suit cover ups when I was in Boston from BCF!
Hope you had a great weekend. We just got back from being in Montreal last week, so I've missed all your posts and catching up now.
super cute!!!
These our gorgeous! (although I can't see wearing them as a dress for myself anyways, I love them as a top!)
Btw... I'm sending you a 'pizza email' today (sorry, last week was crazy)!
I love these pieces - what a find! Thanks for sharing.

Lovely pieces (not cheap...). Nice on line shop!!!
Love what I see in these pics!
Wow! Never knew that about your parents. I somehow feel happy that you have an African heritage. Is that silly?
how fun!
really cute! but would be WAY too short on me as a dress. (maybe my husband would like though. ;)
love that peacock pattern too.
I adore mumus -- weird? Oh, well. Although I tend to belt them, which sort of defeats the purpose...
