Shwe shwe was recently featured in a special EditionElle Magazine in their section on '50 Things Elle loves about South Africa'. It would have to be a vital inclusion for any list on things to love about SA.
The picture of the curtains made from shwe shwe are from Brig who is about to set off on an adventure across Africa. You can follow them here Tracks in Africa. With such stylish curtains and Madiba smiling out of the windows of the Landy, they can only but have a fabulous time. I am quite envious, as an overland trip in Africa is a dream. I love road trips with my husband ( never really enjoyed them before I met him) and the longer we can road trip in my dream world the better. Good Luck to Brig, Merv and Swerv and the rest of the crew.
For my birthday I got an amazing pair of denims from Woolies with shwe shwe trimming on the pockets and waist. They were made by Suga Suga as part of the SA designers range. I have worn them every day except for wash days since I got them.
gosh, LOVE those curtains! I am now off to look at Suga Suga... denims with shwe shwe details? HEAVEN!!
