The Origins of African and Dutch Wax Prints

Wax fabric is more than just a textile—it’s a vibrant bridge between cultures. Originally developed in Indonesia, it uses the batik technique, where wax is applied before dyeing to create detailed patterns. Dutch traders later adapted and industrialized this method.
In the 19th century, they introduced wax fabric to Africa, where it quickly gained cultural significance. Each pattern tells a story—based on proverbs, social identity, or meaningful events. African wax prints have since become symbols of expression and heritage.
Available by the meter, in rolls, pagnes, or coupons, our wax prints turn garments and accessories into storytelling pieces.

Dutch wax prints are known for their premium cotton quality, double-sided printing, and bold, intricate designs inspired by African culture.
Super wax is another premium option: made with double wax application for extra-rich colors, sharper details, and enhanced durability—ideal for your long-lasting sewing projects.

How to Care for Your Wax Fabric Colors and Patterns

To preserve the rich hues and detailed patterns of your wax cotton, follow these care tips:

• Washing: Hand wash in cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. For machine washing, use a delicate cycle and avoid spinning. Do not use bleach or harsh products.
• Drying: Air-dry in the shade to protect colors. Don’t wring the fabric—gently pat to remove excess water.
• Ironing & Storage: Iron inside-out on a low setting. Fold neatly and store in a dry, dark place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
