There are so many misconceptions regarding this fabric that need us to think clearly and say what we know. Traditional healers use this fabric yes, African traditional beliefs are not evil and wearing this in public is not considered malpractice traditionally. Also no need to be colonised and reject your culture. It is pretty much a dope fabric used by those who choose so to invite spirits of good crop and fortune from hunting from those who work in the family. AKA... The HUSTLE HARD FABRIC It is dope to say the least! This is a $60 Jacket as its a deluxe with texture and body in the bomber. #hambanow #retsofabric #bomberjackets #zimbabwe #africanculture #cultured #wakandaforever #ancestralroots #goodenergy (at Moto Republik)

Decolonising through fashion: lessons from Wakanda

HARARE - While it is all but a comic strip, Black Panther is an African superhero among the many superheroes created under MARVEL. An idealistic world were black culture was untainted and undiluted by colonisation and unAfrican religions.

Beautiful way of seeing it. While it is sad that on Twitter and other sites of ignorance many blacks enjoy the supposed perks of colonisation. Cry beloved country and forgive them Father for they not know what they are saying. It is very important we rediscover our stories in culture and the meaning of being Zimbabwean, African and of our tribes and tell the stories to next generation.

Through travel discover all this.

"There are some esteem issues that come with the assault of being colonized and being dominated and being marginalized. But we have to push through those and embrace and immerse ourselves in the stunningness that is of us," Gurira (Bustle interview Feb 2018)

This is what keeps us going as we use Retso, Mswati, Njeti on our bombers and continue to find out more and more about our traditional prints and meaning.

The Retso is a fabric used to bring good fortune in our hustles and increase our chances of profit and success in our work.
