Ankara fabrics are obviously for the cool kids. They are not only trendy but multifaceted. Moreover, they make you feel closer to your roots just rocking any piece.
African Wax Prints also known as Ankara and Dutch wax prints are omnipresent and common materials for clothing in Africa, especially West Africa. They are industrially produced, colourful cotton cloths with batik-inspired printing.
One feature of these materials is the lack of difference in the colour intensity of the front and back side. The wax fabric can be sorted into categories of quality due to the processes of manufacturing.
