Laptop Case – Xhosa

Our Laptop Case - Xhosa in tan leather, made from a 100% South African Cow Leather with tribal design cotton weave on the front. Our tan leather buffed, coated in oil and then burned through an ironing press to achieve the 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 oil helps to make the leather more water resistant.

The interior of this Laptop Case -Xhosa in tan leather, also lined with an original South African Shweshwe fabric for your laptop’s comfort and style. This Laptop Case comes with a durable nylon zip for closure. As a matter of fact all our bags are handmade by local South African craftswomen.

Artist Inspiration: The Xhosa people are a Bantu ethnic tribe of Southern Africa living in south-east South Africa. The name “Xhosa” comes from that of a legendary leader called uXhosa. The Xhosa Collection was also inspired by the strength and determination of our leader Nelson Mandela who fought for freedom for the people of South Africa. The man who made the impossible, possible.

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.
