AFRICAN WAX
FABRICS
about the collection
African wax prints were influenced by a technique called Dutch wax, a type of resin printed fabric from the Netherlands. Although unpopular in some countries because the resin tends to crack, Dutch wax prints became popular in Africa during the second half of the 19th century. Today, many fabrics are still made using the same Dutch wax style across Africa, along with other resist dyeing techniques .
