Around these three the colour, design and prints are virtually unlimited. Special emphasis is placed on the meaning of a particular design and saying, for those versed in Swahili and Kanga culture this is of key importance when buying any Kanga. A man buys for his wife a leso in appreciation of her and the fondness they share, a Kanga saying like, ‘JAPO KIDOGO CHATOSHA KWA WAPENDANAO’, even a little is enough for those in love. ‘MPENDE AKUPENDAYE’. Meaning you should love those who love you, that love is reciprocal. ‘HAKUNA KISICHO DOA’ there is no thing without a flaw. ‘EMBE MBIVU HULIWA KWAUVUMILIVU’ directly translated that is a ripe mango is eaten slowly. This saying is metaphorical for the gentle course of a partners love as from when they are ready.
