History of West African Ankara fabrics

West African Ankara fabrics are known for their bold, colorful tribal like motifs.  Ankara textiles are 100% cotton wax printed fabrics that were created by a wax-resist dyeing method better known as Batik.  Though the fabric prints are synonymous with Africa the origins of the fabrics are actually Dutch.  The Dutch made the cloths for the Indonesian market but through trade Ankara fabrics were introduced and embraced by Africa.  The colorful patterns have become a signature symbol of the West African culture.
