A little history about Shweshwe courtesy of Marula Designs: The material that is now called Shweshwe was first worn by the Sotho king, Moshoeshoe 1, in about 1840. He was gifted some by a French missionary in the 1840’s and subsequently popularized it. The cloth, was originally only available in the color indigo and was then called shoeshoe or isishweshwe after the king. Later the cloth was printed in bright red and chocolate brown and more recently other colors have been added such as turquoise, pumpkin, shocking pink and yellow/gold. It is also known as "German print" after 19th century German and Swiss settlers who imported the blaudruck ("blue print") fabric for their clothing.
