The Kavazi by ASAKE-OGE is a three-piece African print kimono duster set comprising an open-front mid-length Ankara kimono duster with dramatic wide sleeves, matching high-waisted tailored shorts with side pockets, and a self-tie belt, all cut from 100% cotton wax print fabric in a bold vertical geometric pattern of crimson red, deep black, and radiant gold, available in Pink Tie Dye and Brown Tribal colourways at $42.50.
About the Kavazi Kimono Set
The Kavazi is built on the principle of architectural layering. Its name draws from the Swahili word for "garment," and the design honours that tradition fully: every element of this three-piece set is considered, from the sweeping silhouette of the kimono duster to the structured counterpoint of the high-waisted shorts beneath. The vertical geometric print is inspired by traditional African textile motifs, creating a visual elongation that is both commanding and elegant. The bold palette of crimson, black, and gold speaks to a heritage of strength and celebration, translated into a contemporary wardrobe statement.
The kimono duster falls to mid-thigh, with wide sleeves that flow with every gesture. The self-tie belt allows you to define the waist for a tailored hourglass shape, or leave the duster open for a breezy, resort-ready drape. The tailored shorts feature a high waist and functional side pockets, designed to be worn as part of the full set or styled independently as separates.
Versatility is the foundation of the Kavazi. Wear all three pieces together for cultural festivals, gallery openings, or summer celebrations. Separate the pieces to extend your wardrobe: drape the kimono over a slip dress for an evening look, or pair the shorts with a solid bodysuit and sneakers for a chic weekend brunch outfit.

How to Style This African Print Kimono Set
For a resort or poolside look: wear the Kavazi kimono open over a swimsuit or black bikini, belted loosely at the waist, with flat sandals. This set transitions directly from pool to terrace without a change of outfit. For swimwear that pairs with the Kavazi, explore the ASAKE-OGE African print swimsuit collection for coordinated Ankara swimwear pieces.
For a cultural celebration or festival: wear the full three-piece set with the belt cinched at the waist and clear heels for a cohesive, high-fashion statement.
For elevated casual wear: pair the Kavazi shorts with a solid white bodysuit and the kimono draped open over the top, finished with sneakers or block-heel mules.
For evening: remove the shorts and drape the kimono over a black slip dress with strappy sandals. The belt tied at the waist creates a defined, elegant silhouette.
About the Ankara Print
The Kavazi print draws from West African wax print textile tradition: bold, repeating vertical geometric patterns rendered in a high-contrast crimson, black, and gold palette. African wax print, also known as Ankara, has its roots in West and Central African dress culture and remains one of the most recognisable and culturally significant textile traditions in the world. At ASAKE-OGE, every Ankara print is chosen for its cultural resonance and design intentionality, not just its visual impact.
