Xhosa stripe by
My Africa

This striking throw is inspired by the stripes of Xhosa clothing and blankets. Unique to the Xhosa people, the predominant use of black and white in their designs is steeped in tradition. Cultural rituals are symbolic through every stage of life and development for the Xhosa people, such as knowing one’s isiduko (clan). It is considered important that when two strangers meet for the first time, the first identity that gets shared is isiduko. This forms the origins of ubuntu, a behaviour synonymous with this nation. It is also the roots to the saying “it takes a village to raise a child”.
