World of Vlisco
Originated in 1846 in The Netherlands, Vlisco has been designing and manufacturing unique printed fabrics, made with time-honoured methods and quality materials originally derived from Indonesian wax-based batik. Vlisco’s heritage and design signature is a multicultural symbiose of beauty and craftsmanship where each print has its own distinctive originality.
For almost 200 years, Vlisco has created over 350,000 original textile designs and colour variances. Many of these designs have become cultural treasures, adopted and embraced by African women; and honoured with names and meanings by the traders of West and Central Africa.
Within this world of heritage, craftsmanship, design and storytelling, Vlisco’s fabrics form the starting point of fashion, creativity and bold self-expression, where every final piece, is indeed: one of a kind.

Every Yard is Unique
Vlisco is synonymous with extraordinary craftsmanship. Each yard of fabric undergoes an intricate process with dozens of steps in it to ensure longevity and impeccable quality, transforming the designs into bold, elegant expressions of individuality. The teams undergo multi-year training to become masters of technique.
There is only one Vlisco.
Vlisco’s signature production process is absolutely unique. The hand-drawn and printed designs are often layered with vein-like crackles and ‘bubble’ marks, resulting in charming traces left behind from highly-specialised, exclusive printing techniques.
Every yard, authenticated by these ‘perfect imperfections’.
