shwe shwe dolls

one of a kind dolls made of south african shwe shwe fabric, so-called for the sound women's skirts make when they walk - "shwe shwe"

each color combo and detailing is unique. based on drawings by soweto's children and crafted by the community's mothers and grandmothers, using scraps of iconic shwe shwe fabric and other bright bits and bobs.

an accompanying tag tells each family's story of hope and creativity.

dolls are approximately 12" tall
