Womens Shweshwe Bomber Jacket – Red

ZWESA is a clothing brand that fuses traditional South African fabric – isiShweshwe – with modern everyday styles. Born out of the idea that shweshwe is not integrated into everyday life enough, we at ZWESA felt  that we could support the local manufacturers and tell the story of shweshwe through the beautiful clothes we manufacture. isiShweshwe has a rich history that begins in the 1600’s. ZWESA is all about telling a positive story of South Africa and supporting local businesses. ZWESA exclusively sources all fabrics from South Africa. The name ZWESA was inspired by the only area in the world where is still made the traditional way – in Zwelitsha, Eastern Cape. We ensure to only ever buy authentically produced isiShweshwe.  ZWESA has launched with a ladies bomber jacket, and will soon expand into mens clothing and other garments. ZWESA aims to product timeless fashion items, that wont ever fade with the upcoming trends. ZWESA’s clothing will always be savvy, and applicable to any situation. Our apparel can be worn day-to-day, into the evenings, for dinner, or when going out. It’s your style and your story. Tell it your way.

ZWESA’s four values are:

1. Keep it Local – Everything we need is right in front of us
2. Tell Stories – True to the story telling strength found across Africa, ZWESA hopes to enable stories. These jackets have been made to help wearers express themselves, and for wearers to become more curious about the traditional shweshwe fabric.
3. Shweshwe is for Everyone – ZWESA acknowledges that isiShweshwe has deep ties with only a few cultures within South Africa. However, everyone can participate in the celebration of this fabric. Without forgetting where shweshwe has come from, let’s not restrict where it can go.
4. Go to Infinity and Beyond! – We do this by supporting local jobs placement organisation, Harambee, by donating 10% of our profits to supplying locall made work clothes for young people to use in job interviews.ZWESA is a clothing brand that fuses traditional South African fabric – isiShweshwe – with modern everyday styles.
