African Fabric & Design

“Nowhere in the world is street life as staggeringly colourful as in the markets of Africa.
A dazzling mix of rich and vibrant colours is a feast for the eyes.
Clothing in Africa is certainly not intended to cloak one's personal feelings.
In Africa you wear your heart on your sleeve.
Passion, meekness, unbridled joy, deep sorrow, pride, admiration, impassioned
protest - clothing reflects all these expressions.”
