African print fabric (also referred to as Ankara or African Wax Print) from Ghana, West Africa. It finds it’s original roots in modern day Indonesia as far back as the 19th century. African print is typically bold and colourful, displaying vibrant patterns and motifs. In some parts of Africa, some tribes have their own designs and used as a means of communication. Today, they are worn by many households across the continent. The fabric is used to make bespoke clothing for casual wear as well as special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, church services and more. We have used a traditional African print fabric to create a piece that has a relaxed fit and being lightweight, perfect for hotter climates and travelling.
