A twisted bag with a plump shape. Both the outer and inner fabrics are made of Shweshwe, a traditional South African cloth. When the zipper is opened, it flattens out, so you can carry it flat when traveling and use it as a bag when you go out. For the part that I hold by hand, I use bias tape from the back of the shweshwe. Inside, zippered pockets on both sides. The zipper on the bag is not reversible, but you can use it inside out. The charm is also made of Shweshwe. The bag body is made in South Africa, but the charm is made in Japan. The image you are holding in your hand is a different product. For your reference. Handling with care ● Due to the characteristics of materials and dyes, especially dark colors may transfer to other things if they rub against each other. Please be careful when getting wet due to sweat or rain, or when washing. ● When it is new, please avoid using it with light-colored clothes and bags ● If the color transfers, please wash (clean) as soon as possible ● Separate from others and wash separately ● If left soaked or wet, the color may transfer and the color may fade ● Washing (cleaning) may cause the cloth to shrink slightly "History of Shweshwe" Indigo-dyed fabrics became widespread in South Africa in the mid-17th century, when a port was built on the Cape of Good Hope. Most of the indigo cloth at that time came from India and the Netherlands and was worn by slaves, soldiers, Khoisan and settler women. In the 18th century, indigo prints were made in the Czech Republic and Hungary, and in the mid-19th century, an indigo-dyed cloth presented by French missionaries to King Moshoeshoe I of Lesotho gave it its name. Today, in addition to indigo, there are a wide variety of colors, such as red, brown, and even bright pink and green, and the patterns are used not only in fine geometric patterns, but also in floral patterns and large patterns. Not only clothes are made for weddings and traditional ceremonies, but also fashionable clothes are made by young designers. "Wa & Shweshwe" African fabrics such as kanga and pagne are characterized by their vivid large patterns, but since Shweshwe is based on geometric patterns, even large patterns have an atmosphere that leads to Japanese and can be used anywhere. "Gluing and fragrance" In order not to spoil the fabric between Europe and South Africa, Shweshwe is glued tightly, which gives it a unique smell. Produced in South Africa, this hard glue still continues, but when washed, the glue comes off and the fabric becomes soft cotton. We import and sell Shweshwe products made in South Africa, import Shweshwe from South Africa, and develop products that take advantage of its characteristics.
