How a bespoke kanzu is built.

Four steps, usually ready within a week — sooner for wedding orders booked in advance. Everything is made in-house at Magomeni, from measuring to embroidery.

01 — Measure

Share your size

In-store at Magomeni, or send height & chest measurements over WhatsApp.

02 — Choose

Pick fabric & colour

Cotton, linen, or wedding-weight weaves, in ivory, cream, or deep tones.

03 — Embroider

Collar & cuff detail

Gold, white, or tonal thread — plain for daily wear, fuller for celebrations.

04 — Deliver

Collect or delivered

Pick up at Magomeni Mapipa/Shibamu, or arrange delivery within Dar.
