WE LOVE AFRICAN FABRIC
We love all types of African fabric and at Urbanstax our mission is to source and sell beautiful and authentic African fabric. We source African Wax Print fabric a.k.a. Ankara, African batiks and tie-dye with a special love for Nigerian Adire. We also have woven strip cloth, Aso-oke from Nigeria and stunning Shweshwe prints from South Africa.
All the fabric we sell is made in Africa and we currently have fabric from Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Ghana and Tanzania. We update our stock regularly. Learn more about the different types of our African textiles here.
