My Little Take On Ankara Fabric










 I love ankara, it obviates a love for everything afrocentric, but for some reasons women seem to use these beautiful fabrics to do seemingly fashionable pieces, but no stand out pieces.

So if you’re interested in rocking ankara but rocking it with a difference, here’s a few items you should acquire;• CUTE SHORTS: Jumpsuits, Bags, Most importantly accessories.           

         Ankara is now used to create the most beautiful and breathtaking fashion accessories, such as: Hairbands, Earrings, Rings, brooches, Bangles, Necklaces, Neck bibs, Shoes, Bags, Laptop pouch etc .
       
         Presently;in Nigeria ankara fabrics is a bomb which has exploded to every part in the country in fashion view.Ankara clothings introduces you to a new insight on what fashion is really about.
         
        Ankara add flavour to any outfit any day. It's so much easier to have clothing sewn from traditional fabric and is generally better quality and more authentic.
               Most of the designers in Nigeria are making out some collections out of Ankara because it is 'on point' as they as say.....
