Veldskoene ("FELT-skoona") or vellies ("FELL-ys") Southern African walking shoes made from vegetable-tanned leather or soft rawhide uppers. Attached to a leather footbed and rubber sole without tacks or nails. The name comes from Afrikaans vel ("skin"). Later assimilated with veld ("field"), and skoene ("shoes"). First made in the 17th century by the first Dutch settlers in South Africa. Their design also believed to be based on the traditional Khoisan footwear observed by these settlers. The footwear was later embedded into the Afrikaaner psyche when velskoene were used as the footwear of the Great Trek.
Artist Inspiration: Tsonga, a Bantu language spoken by the Tsonga people. Mutually intelligible with Tswa and Ronga. As a matter of fact the name “Tsonga” also often used as a cover term for all three, sometimes referred to as Tswa-Ronga. Xitsonga language standardised for both academic and home use. Making it the base language for the Tsonga people. Although like with many other languages, there are various dialects within the Tsonga language group. See our Tsonga Collection Here.
