Popularized by the Maasai tribes of Kenya and Tanzania, the Maasai shuka blanket is made from 100% Acrylic material and measures 200 X 150cm in length.

African Maasai shuka are characterized by a bold plaid pattern with color red as the most prominent color supplemented by blues, blacks and whites. However, some of the acrylic Maasai shukas are in stripes.

These particular Maasai shuka are worn by the Maasai men to keep them warm when herding, the cold seasons and special Maasai cultural events.

This special Maasai shuka can be adopted in a wide variety of ways:
