Shweshwe Classic Top
Shweshwe Classic Top
A long open-front cardigan in cerise Shweshwe — small geometric repeat, hip-length cut, designed to layer over almost everything in your wardrobe. The print is busy enough to be the statement piece without crowding what you wear underneath.
The fabric is lighter than a winter cardigan and heavier than a kimono — sits between seasons cleanly. Works over a fitted black tee and jeans for the supermarket, or over a slip dress for evening; the shape doesn't change, only the company it keeps.
Details

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.
