We are often asked this question. It is certainly good that you ask yourself this question, especially since there is already more social awareness these days about cultural identity and cultural appropriation.
Our vision is simple; products such as fabrics, waist beads, clothing, hair bonnets & head wraps can be worn by anyone. As long as you wear them with pride, and from the love for the colors, patterns and culture, we only see this as an enrichment and a compliment. So when we look at our customer base, it is a wonderfully diverse audience from young to old, with roots and cultures from literally every country in the world. But there is one thing that unites these customers all: the passion for colorful, unique and practical products from AfricanFabs.
As for the patterns and symbols on the fabrics; Many of the prints we sell change every few months, it is therefore with most of the prints just a flow of fashion and colors, most of the figures and symbols therefore have no specific cultural or traditional meaning, but are worn mainly because they are beautiful and expressive.
