SHWESHWE AFRICAN CULTURAL FABRICS AT DA GAMA
As a supplier of bulk Shweshwe, we at Da Gama Textiles are proud to offer fabric steeped in history and culture. Shweshwe, originating in the early 1840s, made its way to South Africa and has since become an iconic part of the region. The distinctive designs are created using a weak acid solution to bleach out the cloth, giving it an authentic look and feel. The distinctive smell is something that consumers love.
THE HISTORY OF SHWESHWE
Shweshwe has a rich and fascinating history, dating back thousands of years. We use traditional processes to produce Shweshwe, staying true to its roots. Our methods add charm and quality, creating a sensory experience with both look and feel.
UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS
One of Shweshwe’s unique characteristics is how customers inspect it. It is not unusual to see patrons taste, smell, and feel the fabric before buying it, to ensure it is authentic. We sell Shweshwe by folded bolt, not on a cardboard core, to stay true to its origins. A strong starch preserves the fabric, resulting in a hard handle and distinctive smell, which disappear after washing.
