FAQs

Shweshwe is a heritage 100% cotton print that requires pre-washing.

Do you need to pre-wash  Shweshwe?


Shweshwe is a heritage product still made the same way as in the industrial revolution. It requires a pre-wash before cutting and sewing.


Just soak your fabric in warm water and hang it out to dry. Plain and simple. No detergents or washing machine required.


You may do a subsequent rinse in lukewarm salty water if you choose.


Please send an email with questions.
