“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.”
Let us cater to your personal needs.
We can make the following styles up in any of the fabrics that appear on the site:
Caftans, Dashidas, Long Wrap Skirts and Short Wrap Skirts.
Simply mail us your preference and we will liase directly with you.
We were featured on Elle Decor in April.
Creativity around the world.
Located in Cape Town, South Africa, LavaLava specializes in African fabric and design.
We offer a range of garments and accessories made up in these unique cloths, which includes commercially styled men's shirts, skirts, caftans, bags and aprons.
We source our authentic prints in South Africa and import traditional fabric from Ghana, Mali, Senegal and the Ivory Coast.
