A*o oke is a thick fabric which is similar in texture to denim or canvas. Although it is traditionally used to make clothing for special occasions, it is also a great choice for upholstery projects, cushions, totes, bags and more. It also works well as a trim for larger projects.

You can buy as little as 1 metre on our website to experiment with.

Planning our imminent stock replenishment order for shweshwe. If there is a colourway or print you would like to see on the website or at our next event, let us know in the comments!

Interestingly, some of the prints I was so sure people would love have been slow whilst some have been unexpectedly popular.
