The Bhayi is a traditional Xhosa blanket shawl which goes over the shoulders and is made with the traditional Xhosa fabric iBayi, which is 100% cotton. It is made in the uMbhaco style, using black shoelace braid, mother-of-pearl buttons and beading, which is done to suit the fabric, but you're welcome to request your own colours.
This bhayi uses a thick panel of black fabric for a stunning statement effect.
