Our Sling Bag - Phuthi in brown leather is made from a 100% South African Cow Leather with a tribal design woven fabric on the front. Our Leather buffed, coated in oil and then burned through an ironing press to achieve the desired effect. Once in use, the oil disperses into the hide, softening the leather from the inside out. This creates a 2 tone distress appearance with a soft velvet touch. 

The interior of our Sling Bag also lined with original South African Shweshwe fabric for strength and style. Additionally this Sling Bag - Phuthi also has an adjustable shoulder strap with brass buckle. Detachable brass snap hooks and durable metal zip slider. As a matter of fact all NAVA Apparel bags are handmade by local South African craftswomen.

Shweshwe a printed cotton fabric widely used for traditional South African clothing. Manufactured in a variety of colours and printing designs characterised by intricate geometric patterns. Shweshwe described as the denim of South Africa. Traditionally used to make dresses, skirts, aprons and wraparound clothing. Shweshwe clothing traditionally worn by newly married Xhosa and Sotho women, known as makoti. Xhosa women also incorporated the fabric into their traditional ochre-coloured blanket clothing. Aside from traditional wear, shweshwe used in contemporary South African fashion design for women and men from all ethnic groups, as well as for making accessories and upholstery.
