WHY PRINTS?

Jul 30, 2020

Prints and bright colours are prevalent throughout the African continent, and they often carry messages which are used as a vehicle of dialogue. Whilst Dutch wax fabrics are worn throughout Africa and have become popular within African fashion, prints have existed on the continent amongst the many different people groups, long before the introduction of Dutch wax fabrics.
