Osterweis has been collecting Kangas for decades. Kangas are typically brightly colored, large cloths that the women of East Africa wear for years to cover themselves. He purchased them from families willing to sell, and just a few months ago, decided to create a collection with them. 

1,000 articles of clothing have been released for the Spring '09 line.
