Shwe means gold. Myanmar is the Golden Land.
Pronounced shweh. It is the word on every pagoda spire, every wedding band and every auntie’s favourite bracelet. On the back of Drop 001 it is a golden pagoda with its smaller temples around it, the way the pagodas of Yangon glow at sunset.
SHWE is a Burmese label from Malmö. Drop 001 is for everyone who grew up between two places and is currently having a very Burmese time in their life.
