@_ehgyeiwaa_: A little 20-second tour through some African fabrics and where they originate and commonly associated with.🌍 Kente — Ghana 🇬🇭 Aso Oke — Nigeria 🇳🇬 Batik — West Africa 🌍 Basotho — Lesotho 🇱🇸 Shweshwe — South Africa 🇿🇦 Kanga — Tanzania/Kenya 🇹🇿🇰🇪 Ankara — West Africa 🌍 ‼️ Note: ‼️ This isn’t saying every fabric listed originated in the region beside it. Some textiles have more complex histories, with origins, production, trade and cultural adoption spanning different places. I’ve included some based on the regions where they are particularly popular within their cultural context, culturally significant or commonly associated today. Also, this list is far from exhaustive — Africa has way too many beautiful textile traditions for 20 seconds. So tell me: what did I miss? 👀 And please, if I butchered a pronunciation, correct me 😂. I’m learning too. Part 2, anyone? 👀🧵 #TheGarmentSchool #AfricanFabrics #AfricanTextiles #AfricanFashion #TextileHistory FabricKnowledge GhanaFashion AfricanFashionHistory Kente AsoOke Shweshwe Kanga Ankara Batik
