Types of Ankara Fabrics in the Nigerian Market Ola Daviva International Instagram @ola_daviva WhatsApp +2349058767700 Ankara fabric, renowned for its vibrant colors and bold patterns, is a staple in Nigerian fashion. Known for its versatility and cultural significance, Ankara fabric comes in various types, each with unique characteristics and uses. This article explores the different types of Ankara fabrics available in the Nigerian market, highlighting their distinct features and applications. #### 1. **Real Wax Prints** Real wax prints are the most authentic form of Ankara fabric. They are produced using a wax-resist dyeing technique that creates intricate patterns on both sides of the fabric. This traditional method involves applying wax to the cloth before dyeing it, ensuring the dye does not penetrate the waxed areas. The result is a fabric with a rich texture and vibrant colors that are deeply embedded into the material. **Characteristics:** - High quality with vibrant and long-lasting colors. - Patterns are visible on both sides of the fabric. - Often more expensive due to the intricate production process. **Uses:** - Special occasions and traditional ceremonies. - High-end fashion designs and bespoke tailoring. #### 2. **Imitation Wax Prints** Imitation wax prints, also known as fancy prints, are produced using modern printing techniques rather than the traditional wax-resist method. These fabrics mimic the appearance of real wax prints but are generally more affordable. **Characteristics:** - Patterns are printed on one side of the fabric. - Colors may not be as vibrant or long-lasting as real wax prints. - More affordable and accessible. **Uses:** - Everyday wear and casual clothing. - Mass-produced fashion items and accessories. #### 3. **Super Wax Prints** Super wax prints are a premium version of wax prints, often produced by renowned manufacturers like Vlisco.

They are produced using a calendering process that gives the fabric a shiny appearance. Java prints often feature intricate patterns and vibrant colors, making them popular for both traditional and contemporary fashion. **Characteristics:** - Smooth texture with a glossy finish. - Bright and vivid colors. - Often more expensive due to the additional finishing process. **Uses:** - Fashionable garments and stylish accessories. - Special events and modern fashion designs. #### 5. **Kitenge** Kitenge is a type of Ankara fabric that is particularly popular in East Africa but also widely available in Nigerian markets. It is similar to wax prints but often features larger and more expressive patterns. Kitenge fabrics are known for their bold designs and are commonly used in both traditional and contemporary clothing. **Characteristics:** - Large, bold patterns with vibrant colors. - Available in a wide range of designs. - Versatile and suitable for various fashion applications. **Uses:** - Traditional attire and cultural garments. - Modern fashion and everyday wear. #### 6. **Hollandais** Hollandais, often referred to as Dutch wax prints, are premium Ankara fabrics produced by renowned Dutch companies like Vlisco. These fabrics are known for their high quality, intricate designs, and rich cultural heritage. Hollandais prints are considered the gold standard in Ankara fabrics, often sought after for their exclusivity and elegance. **Characteristics:** - Exceptional quality with detailed patterns. - High durability and colorfastness. - Premium price point. **Uses:** - Exclusive and luxury fashion designs. - High-profile events and formal occasions. #### 7. **African Print Fabrics** In addition to traditional wax prints, the Nigerian market also features a variety of African print fabrics that are inspired by Ankara but produced using different techniques.

Blazetrailer: I don't usually reply people but I will take an exception. Sir what I mean is very simple,I'm not implying Dangote will release Usd into the Economy,but his petrol will free up the money used in importing Petrol into Nigeria every month. Every month sir,NNPCL imports 1 billion litres of Petrol every month at a rate of 35 million litres Evey day. This petrol is paid for using proceeds from oil receipts derived from expoert of crude oil,thus depriving Nigeria of close to 200 million Dollars every month. Sir I hope you understand now why I said once Dangote releases his petrol into Nigeria,the country will save millions of Dollars which should have been used for import of petrol. Thanks sir and God bless you God bless Nigeria |
