The Pink Gecko Reviews

"Well, where do I start. I was born in West Africa (highlands of Nigeria during the Biafra Civil War). My parents were born in Tanganika (now Tanzania), my Gran parents and great gran parents as well. I own and use a couple of Kikoys that are over 100 years old. So there is testament to the quality! i was brought up seeing my father and grandfather wearing a kikoy around the house, on the beach ... and so I have used them all my life. What I like about Pink Gecho, is the personal response, the fact they are selling a genuinely good product and just are a really nice attentive company. Pink Gecho give me a good feeling. Plus I like gechos! I live in in Patagonia Argentina & so that throws an interesting angle on things; my kikoys are used in Uruguay, Brazil ... and I have now bought several from Pink Gecho. I now am buying the ones I like as gifts to friends I know who will appreciate one coming in the post! I old black and white photos of kikoys being worn by family on the coast of zanzibar in the 1920's but I can't seem to get on to the photo review; so I will send one of mine which is a purchase from Pink Gecho in recent times, a supper invitation of sorts! Many thanks James"

"I wanted to introduce my daughter in law to the joys of owning a kikoy and ordered a beautiful blue kikoy from The Pink Gecko. \r\nIt arrived on time and met all my expectations and I did not feel ripped off as we so often do when buying online. Thank you Jo for an excellent service! "

"All enquiries were answered precisely & with reassuring knowledge. Once ordered, our beautiful Kikoys were on our doorstep as we returned from holiday. A fantastic palette of colours, & very good cotton products that will both remind us of a fantastic Umbrian holiday, & provide years of practical, quick drying use. Thanks Pink Gecko"

"I bought my first Kikoy in the mid 1980s... and for a while I considered writing a little book entitled '101 uses for a Kikoy'! There are so many uses for these beautifully made and wonderfully colourful creations from the people of Kenya. My most common usage (apart from the conventional sarong use) is as a very warm and colourful scarf... here is a photo (pink one)... and a photo of the first one I bought... a bit bedraggled now! Pink Gecko provides such a wonderful assortment of beautiful colours... even though I now have about 15, I am always tempted!"
