An interesting article in the Taipei Times… http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/worldbiz/archives/2009/04/13/2003440913
Vlisco does make an outstanding fabric. It’s a bit pricier than some of the others, but as they said in the article, it lasts 15 years and is colorfast. All that said, I did find it interesting that Vlisco has 500 designers and not one of them is African. One might think that with all the Africans living in Europe Vlisco might be able to find one person with fabric design skills.
Anyway, the article tells a little about this 164 year old factory and its history of producing for the African market.
I need more information about African fabrics eg: wax and headties
Celine,
I’m happy to help you but you must be more specific in your query.
