Capulana

A capulana (also spelled "kapulana", or in Changana "nguvu" or "vemba") is a type of a sarong worn primarily in Mozambique but also in other areas of Southeastern Africa.

Today, these early styles of capulana are used primarily by "tinyanga" (witch doctors, spirit healers, "curandeiros").

[1] They are used in a variety of manners, including everyday casual-wear, carrying heavy loads, or even careful tailored for special events.

Early traditional colors and styles of capulana are highly coveted and sell for higher prices in markets today.

Some couples make matching capulana outfits for special events or for a significant reason such as a traditional marriage between the two.
