5 out of 5 starsFantastic turban - fabric was gorgeous and it's just so comfy. I have a really big head, so the larger size and stretch has made this perfect. Thanks so much!

5 out of 5 starsComfortable, great quality masks. My husband gets lots of compliments on the wonderful fabric when he wears it. I would say the size is better suited to those with larger faces - it fits my husband perfectly, but I'm a small woman and it's unfortunately too big for me.

Shop policies
The aim of this shop is to educate the masses about the beauty,vibrance and versatility of Ankara (African Fabrics) through different mediums.
At present my shop stocks turbans and a few fashion items. In the future I hope to add a vanity range, bag range and some stationary items.
Thanks for looking!
Most people when asked about Ankara will mention the flamboyant costumes worn by African women to Weddings, Church and other functions.
However Ankara are much more diverse than that and can be used for most things in our everyday lives.
Through my designs I hope to illustrate this and to draw people in to the beauty of African Fabrics particularly those who would never have considered it before...
