About Me

Wambui Wamutogoria

Utamaduni is the Kiswahili word for “tradition” it is often used to refer to culture and tradition. Africa’s traditional culture has been forgotten in so many ways and the purpose of utamaduni wear is to revive African fashion and style in a very unique way by merging today’s ever changing trends with traditional fabrics, accessories and essence. On this Blog I will share my thoughts and points of interest in life; I welcome all of you to share with me utamaduniwear@gmail.com or post comments.
