African print clothing is more than tradition
Hello Everyone,
My name is Aderayo, I was born and brought up in Lagos Nigeria. I have loved cloth making ever since I was a little girl I remember always buying baby dolls and I will make clothes for the dolls with needle and thread, even my own clothes whenever I buy a new clothe before you know it, I will change the style of the dress into something else entirely with needle and thread, my friends use to make fun of me then, but after a while they will also bring their clothes to me to remake for them. making fun clothing is what I have always love to do. so, I decided in year 2017 to go to a fashion school in Nigeria, to learn more after graduating fashion school I decided to start my own clothing line before I relocated to the US in year 2018, and I realized the beaty of African print cloth which is more than tradition to me.
That was why I decided to start African print ready to wear exclusive women clothing. unique styles that can be worn any time anywhere to any place, work, weddings, church, beach, even to wear on vacation. so, I would love to introduce you to our colorful world of beautiful African print fabric!

African Wax print fabric is sometimes made from 100% cotton cloth, and some are made from polyester, rayon and others, which commonly used to make clothing, and other products in Africa. It can be referred to as kitenge, Chittenden, Dutch Wax or Ankara fabric. A whole piece of kitenge fabric is 12 yards in length but can be purchased in half pieces, 6 yards in length, and 1 yard's length. The width of the fabric varies between different manufacturers; it is usually 34 by 45 inches.
The method of producing the fabric is called batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique and ancient art form that originated from Indonesia. The print design and colors look the same on both the front and back sides of the fabric. The quality of the fabric depends on the type of cotton cloth and the manufacturer processes used.
Please have in mind that, some prints are stiffer than others, depending on the quality.
Thank you, and we hope we will make your day with your purchase.
