The history of ANKARA FABRIC. When the Dutch colonised Indonesia, their merchants discovered batik fabrics and brought samples back to The Netherlands. Dutch textile manufacturers developed ways to print the fabric in bulk by machine and started to produce cheaper batik inspired imitation fabrics.... These new fabrics were not popular in Indonesia, as the original batik fabrics were preferred. However, they were well received when imported into West Africa in the 1880s. The popularity of the fabrics was largely due to West African soldiers, who were serving in Indonesia, as they brought back the batik fabrics when they returned home. It was originally intended for the Indonesian market but found a more enthusiastic market in West Africa, where it became symbols of traditional and high quality fashion. From West Africa, this fabric spread to other parts of Africa and all over the world. . #ankarafestivalLA #ankarafestorg #ankarafestival2021 #aflav #africanculture #africa #african #culture #africanart #africanhistory #africanfashion #africandance #africanqueen #eritrean #blackhistory #art #melanin #blackculture #africandiaspora #blackisbeautiful #blackexcellence #fortheculture #panafrican #africanmusic #afrobeats #fashion #africanbeauty #africanprint #blackgirlmagic
