Popular African fabric, ‘Ankara’ also known as the ‘African Print,’ is a cotton fabric with vivacious patterns. It is associated with Africa because of its tribal-like patterns and designs and its worn mostly by Africans.
When it comes to Ankara clothing, our ethnicity in style and design is revealed. Different styles of dressing have evolved from the traditional fabric which is gradually taking over the so-called modern fashion. It can be worn to any occasion, even for red carpet events too.
The fabric is so resourceful that many items can be made from it such as bags, earrings, shoes, jackets, bangles, couches, throw pillows and lots more.
