Our Postman Bag - Zulu made from 100% South African Cow Leather with a multi colour tribal design woven fabric insert on the front. The Brown Leather we use is 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 inside out.

The interior of this Postman Bag - Zulu also lined with an original South African Shweshwe fabric for strength and style. Sporting a live edge fold over flap, antique brass fittings and adjustable shoulder strap. As well as a zipped pocket on the back. Hence the Postman Bag is great for travelling, being the perfect size for all essential items. All NAVA Apparel bags are handmade by local South African craftswomen.

Zulu people are native people of Southern Africa, also originating from Nguni communities who took part in the Bantu migrations over millennia. The Zulu people certainly the largest ethnic group in South Africa, mainly living in KwaZulu-Natal province. Our Zulu Collection made for the strong, as the Zulu people are resilient warriors.

Shweshwe a printed cotton fabric widely used for traditional South African clothing. Manufactured in a variety of colours and designs characterised by intricate geometric patterns. Shweshwe described as the denim of South Africa. Traditionally used to make dresses, aprons, skirts and wraparound clothing, as well as accessories. 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.
