Vlisco has been designing and manufacturing distinctive fabrics loved by African women since 1846.

100% Guaranteed Dutch Wax.

Founded in 1846 in the Netherlands, Vlisco has been designing and manufacturing unique printed fabrics, made with time-honoured methods and quality materials originally derived from Indonesian wax-based batik. Vlisco’s heritage and design signature is a multicultural symbiosis of beauty and craftsmanship, where each print has its own distinctive identity.

For almost 200 years, Vlisco has created over 350,000 original textile designs and colour variances. Many of these designs have become cultural treasures, adopted and embraced by African women; and honoured with names and meanings by the traders of West and Central Africa.

Within this world of heritage, craftsmanship, design and storytelling, Vlisco’s fabrics form the starting point of fashion, creativity and bold self-expression, where every final piece, is indeed: one of a kind.
