Sub-Saharan African kaftans too.</p><p>Just south of there you get Vlisco designs. These were originally made by Vlisco in Helmond, The Netherlands, and based on Indonesian batik designs, which is why they have both an Asian and an African vibe. These are the cotton prints we saw a lot during the sixties:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Fv-inspired.vlisco.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F11%2FAngelina_Bouboudima_2.jpg&amp;sp=1c5e09b5f43b74acd97e87ce73a1d50f" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="http://v-inspired.vlisco.com/the-5-most-popular-colour-stories-of-the-angelina-3/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://v-inspired.vlisco.com/the-5-most-popular-colour-stories-of-the-angelina-3/" rel="nofollow">http://v-inspired.vlisco.com/the-5-most-popular-colour-stories-of-the-angelina-3/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Recently Vlisco has started making more tribal African designs, but still with the batik look. Real Vlisco is still made, and worth a lot in Africa. Even though they make their own Vlisco style textiles now, the real thing is still highly valued. African Vlisco fashion shows are spectacular:</p><p><a href="http://katyandlaney.com/2015/01/07/vlisco-catalog/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://katyandlaney.com/2015/01/07/vlisco-catalog/" rel="nofollow">http://katyandlaney.com/2015/01/07/vlisco-catalog/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
