Conclusion for Chapter One

I have looked at different types of African fabrics and I have noticed that these fabrics are not only used for clothing, but they are used for different purposes in different cultures. I have focused mainly on Isishweshwe fabric because it is one of the fabrics that was introduced to me at a younger age as part of  my traditional clothing collection.
For the past few years, I have only known Isishweshwe as a South African fabric and only used by the African people. Having the research done and learning about the origins of Isishweshwe, I have realised that African people have not only adapted certain aspects of the fabric, but we have made it our own. African people saw the need to use this fabric as part of our national identity.
