Description
"Shaka" is more than a knitted cardigan—it's a wearable celebration of your heritage. Designed for Black women who honor their roots and walk boldly in their identity, its rich African patterns speak without words: you are powerful, connected, beautiful, and rooted in something greater.
The same bold print as our Shaka corset dress—black key borders, triangles and rising suns on deep red—now wrapped around a fleece-lined cardigan with a matching red rib. Button it over the dress or layer it on anything, because your heritage is your strength, and it deserves to be seen all season.

Sisters Say It Best
You May Be Wondering...
Is Afropenda Black-owned?
Yes. Afropenda is proudly Black-owned. Founded by Lena — a proud Black woman in her 40s who built this brand because she was tired of settling after years of working in plus-size fashion.
What size should I get?
The cardigan has a regular fit with dropped shoulders, so it sits relaxed and layers easily over a dress or a tee. Order your usual size for that easy fit, or one size down if you prefer it closer to the body. Sizes run S to 5XL — open the Size Chart tab above for exact measurements.
Is it warm enough for fall and winter?
Yes. It is knitted hacci on the outside with a fleece inner layer at 290 g/m², made to hold warmth on cool autumn days and to layer through winter, while staying light enough to wear indoors.
Is the pattern knitted in or printed?
Printed. The design runs all over a soft hacci knit — front, back and sleeves — which keeps fine detail and bold colour that yarn alone could not carry. The ribbed neckline, cuffs and hem are colour-matched to each print.
Can I track my order?
Of course. Once your order ships, track it on our Tracking Page — enter your tracking number for the latest updates.
