The History of African print
As an African print wear company. We thought it fitting to celebrate the history of African prints. So here we go!
HISTORY OF AFRICAN PRINTS
The origin of the printed fabric and its popularity in Africa date back to the mid-1800s when a Dutch company, now named Vlisco, traded it in West Africa’s coastal towns. Since then, the fabric has been a mainstay of African fashion.
The generic “wax hollandais” reference originated then. But the name has now extended to any similarly printed fabric, irrespective of the print technique or the manufacturer.
Over the last decade, the popularity of the fabric has grown outside the continent, including among the African diaspora and African American communities in the US.
