Aranda Piccolo Shawl. Made of 100% Acrylic. Size 110cm x 130cm

In Xhosa, Tswana, and Sotho cultures, shawls are an important fashion accessory that plays a significant role in traditional attire. The piccolo shawl, with its versatility and size, has become a popular choice among women in these cultures.

Xhosa women often wear a piccolo shawl as part of their traditional attire, known as umqhele. This ensemble typically consists of a long skirt, a blouse, and a headscarf or hat, with a piccolo shawl draped over the shoulders. The shawl is usually made from a brightly colored fabric, such as shweshwe, a traditional printed cotton material.

Similarly, in Tswana culture, women wear a piccolo shawl, known as a lebollo (Tswana Blanket), as part of their traditional attire. The lebollo is often made from a soft, lightweight fabric, and is worn draped over the shoulders or wrapped around the head as a headscarf. It is usually decorated with intricate embroidery or beading, and is worn to signify a woman’s status or to indicate a special occasion. (Tswana Blanket)

In Sotho culture, women also wear a piccolo shawl, known as a kobo. The kobo is typically made from a wool or mohair blend, and is worn draped over the shoulders or wrapped around the head as a headscarf. It is often adorned with intricate beadwork, and is worn to signify a woman’s marital status or to indicate a special occasion.

Overall, the piccolo shawl has become an important and versatile accessory in Xhosa, Tswana, and Sotho cultures, with each culture incorporating their own unique styles and designs.
