Butan x Inkabi Zezwe Capsule Collection
A visual masterpiece! We love this Butan x Inkabi Zezwe Capsule Collection and how it beautifully encapsulates the vibrant spirit of South African culture and street style. Drawing inspiration from the nostalgic memories of music duo Inkabi Zezwe's hometown, Bergville, the collection pays homage to the fashion sensibilities of their uncles and older brothers who influenced their style growing up. It's a timeless journey that bridges generations, making it a must-have for anyone looking to connect with South African heritage. The collection features items like movie-poster-style printed T-shirts, animal print shirts and explorer hats as well as bomber jackets and rugby jerseys. Find it online and at all Butan official retailers and Shesha stores nationwide.
