This is the Kenyan Swahili Dera — known across East Africa as the Dira, Dirac, Somali Baati, Baati Cusub, Coasterian Dera, or Kenyan Kaftan depending on where you call home. Originally from the coastal parts of Kenya and Somalia, this authentic free size African dress has been worn for generations by East African women who understood that true style is rooted in comfort, culture, and confidence.
