AFRICAN TEXTILES: OWNING THE NARRATIVE | 54KIBO: ANKARA: VIBRANT & COLORFUL TEXTILES
Similar to shweshwe, Ankara, also referred to as African or Dutch wax print, is a textile commonly found and used in West Africa. The intense color consistency on both the front and back of the fabric is accomplished by a process of merging cloth with melted wax and then soaking it in the dye. This wax-and-dye process is repeated several times to create the vibrant, rainbow colors of Ankara prints that are loved throughout West Africa. #designer #fashion #bags #clutches #bagdesigns #oneofeach
