Not Your Mother's Kitenge!

Wow! Who knew that such stunning designs could be made from Kitenge fabric? Both the fabric and the dress are made by Vlisco, a Dutch company that produces 4 fabric and fashion collections every year.

Vlisco's clothes are designed to inspire creativity and individuality as the company recognizes that most African women have a personal tailor. The beautiful fabrics are available for sale on their website www.vlisco.com.


I haven't had clothes tailored since I moved to the US as it is really hard to find a good tailor. But if you are lucky to have one, you can use these traditional fabrics in a contemporary way to create the perfect blend of African & Western style.
