So many in America compliment the vibrant colors of our outfits that are gifted graciously to us when we are in Africa. Intricately designed, complimentary colors and uniquely African, the African fabric is some of the best quality found. When one wears clothing made from this fabric, they wear it with pride. I will attempt to share some of the designs here, and where they mostly come from. There are hundreds more patterns and designs across the continent. But, for now... it's fun to learn and understand!
One thing we have discovered the name of the fabric is different, for example:
“Fabric from Ghana is well known around the world for its durability's like Kente and Batakari can last for 300 years because they are woven with great care and devotion that doesn't let them tore up so easily.”
Pagne: This word is derived from French, generally refers to any cloth used for everyday wear in the DRC.
Mozambique- call there fabric capulana.

Take a quick scroll down and read on the different fabrics I have learned about and own. And another fact, you can find African fabrics on Amazon! Have fun and learn!
