Élan High Bulk Jacquard Wrap – African Inspired 100% Cotton

Celebrate Africa’s heritage with the Élan High Bulk Jacquard Wrap, a unique textile inspired by the continent’s diverse traditions and artistry. Woven from 100% high bulk cotton/acrylic, these wraps are soft, lightweight, and durable, perfect for year-round use in both contemporary and traditional settings.

Measuring 122 × 165 cm, each wrap provides generous coverage that can be styled as a shawl, throw, or decorative accessory. The jacquard weave enhances texture and strength, while the vibrant cultural patterns tell stories of African pride and identity.

Design Inspirations:

• Kente (Ghana): Once the royal cloth of kings, its bold colours and geometry reflect prosperity and love.

• Mud Cloth (Mali): Traditionally hand-painted with fermented mud, symbolising heritage and myth.

• Ndebele (South Africa/Zimbabwe): Distinctive house-painting patterns represent family and cultural identity.

• Shweshwe (Southern Africa): Known as the “quintessential fabric” of South Africa, linked to weddings and ceremonies.

• Xhosa (South Africa): Black-and-white stripes and geometric designs rooted in clan identity and ubuntu.

• Rwandan Baskets (Rwanda): Iconic woven zigzag patterns symbolising unity, reconciliation, and hope.

These wraps are not only functional but also symbolic, making them ideal for use in homes, lodges, and as thoughtful gifts. With a balance of softness, durability, and cultural richness, Élan Jacquard Wraps are a timeless piece of African artistry woven into modern life.
