Shweshwe is South African cotton cloth dyed and printed in large varieties of pattern and colour. Originally recognized by the indigo hue, the “Tartan of South Africa” is robust in texture and vibrant in design. Reflected in traditional clothing, haute couture and street wear, this historic cloth authenticates the design process with quality pieces that are fit for royalty.
Tonia gets a kick out of collecting damaged goods and watching the transformation.
Can you believe that this bag of broken tape measures will be metamorphosed into gorgeous @nanazulucreations Snapbags? Did you know that garbage in modern landfills does not rot? Be mindful of what you throw in the trash!”
Tonia keeps upcycling at the heart of her business and uses old tape measures to make the ‘snap’ part of the bags and ostrich leather cut offs for her logo. She is an inspiring human making her difference in the world and doing what she can for the planet each and every day.
