Luwi shirt
Luwi shirt
A grandad-collar tunic in deep indigo Shweshwe, with a single line of contrast red piping running down the placket — quiet from far, considered up close. Built to layer over linen trousers in summer or under a jacket as the weather turns.
The cut is roomy through the body without being boxy, with a half-button placket that sits flat. The kind of shirt that quietly takes the lead when you walk into a room — no logos, no shouting, just a piece of African heritage worn well.

Size & Fit
Our pieces run true to size with a soft drape that hand-finished Shweshwe gives you. If you're between sizes, size up — the fabric softens beautifully with each wash but starts crisp.
Care
Authentic Shweshwe always releases a little dye in its first wash — that's how the fabric is made. Wash separately the first time, cold or 30°C, gentle cycle, inside out.
Line dry in shade. Iron medium heat, inside out, while slightly damp.
