Quirky African Print Fabrics
This is a celebration of our favourite quirky African print fabrics that we have come across.
THE ROLLER SKATE PRINT
This retro roller skate print, speaks for itself! Would make a totally fabulous skirt
THE BIRDCAGE
Birds in different sizes and poses are common motifs in wax prints designs
FINGERS AND HANDS
Not everyone’s cup of tea but isn’t this just the coolest print. Definitely a conversation starter.
THE GUINEAFOWL
The guinefowl is a popular motif in West African design; in textiles, art work and wall murals. A noisy and tasty bird!
THE KING OF THE JUNGLE
Carrying on the animal theme, this lion head print is a shweshwe print from South Africa. It would make a rather fetching man’s shirt.
Have you made any garments, accessories, soft furnishings in any of these prints or any other fun and quirky print? Do share with us, we would love to see.
