Seshoeshoe

Seshweshwe (/ˈsəˈʃwɛʃwɛɪ/) (also known as Seshoeshoe) is a printed dyed cotton fabric widely used for traditional Southern African Basotho clothing. Originally dyed indigo, the fabric is manufactured in a variety of colours and printing designs characterised by intricate geometric patterns. Due to its popularity, shweshwe has been described as the denim, or tartan, of South Africa.
