African Print

African print, popularly known as Ankara,Since it’s ascension in global fashion, much talk has focused on whether or not African fabric is authentically African given the fact that the fabric was in fact originally made in Europe.
The long and short though is the universal acceptance of these prints in the West African market specifically. Ankara is one of the cheapest traditional fabrics (made even cheaper when Chinese manufacturing of the fabric became widespread). If you notice, other African fabrics like Aso Oke are reserved for special occasions, but Ankara is used for everyday wear and used for different beautiful styles and even made more sweet with statement jewelries. even the western world now find themselves using the fabrics for their own designs and outfits which i find interesting.
