Shweshwe fabric has been worn in one form or other for hundreds of years and our exclusive branded fabric has been made exclusively in South Africa since 1982.
It was brought to international attention by Nelson Mandela, who is often seen wearing a Shweshwe shirt. 
The fabric has a gentle stiffness which disappears after the first wash, to be replaced by a beautifully soft, easy to manage, fresh cotton. Shweshwe is robust, making it ideal for patchwork, quilting, home garment sewing and soft furnishings. You can read more about the history of Shweshwe here ...
