Top 10 African Wax Print Fabrics For Summer.

Top 10 African Wax Print Fabrics For Summer.

There are so many shades, tones, colours and patterns in African wax print fabric.

Most African wax print fabric is inspired by African culture. This is why there is such a difference between African wax print fabric from Cameroon, who use bright bold colours and Nirgian African wax print fabric who use a lot of bold dark colours.

Here at Grass-fields we just love African Wax Print Fabric, and source ours from Nigeria, Cameroon and Benin. Here are some of our favourite prints for summer 2017!

So don't be shy! Get inspired for summer and rock that bold African wax print clothing!
