12 Kenyan T-Shirt Brands Everyone Should Own In 2020

T-shirts (and hoodies) are a wardrobe staple that you can never own enough of. They are unisex, comfy, easy to pair and can be great conversation starters. Your tee collection is about to get an ultimate upgrade with this list of edgy local Kenyan brands you should be rocking in 2020.

The list features merch from our favourite celebs like Adele Onyango, dope creatives like Mutua Matheka and other established as well as upcoming fashion brands. We love them for the cause or message printed on them, patriotic themes, throwbacks, “Kenyanisms” and many other reasons. We have seen some of these brands worn by fashion and media personalities and you can now add one or two or three from our carefully selected choices to your collection.

You are welcome!!
