Pieces from Sika’s Spring 2010 collection www.sikadesigns.co.uk/ One of my readers pointed out how many lines are unfairly generalizing African prints this Spring. Well, she’ll be happy to know that Sika’s fabrics hail from and are inspired by Ghana West Africa. According to The Sika press page, “All pieces are hand-made by local seamstresses in Ghana using traditional techniques such as tie-dye and batik and the income received from their sale goes back into the local community.” Not only are these pieces gorgeous, but the image graphics are wonderful as well! I also like that the line gives back to the West African community. Thanks to reader Selo for encouraging me to learn more about where these beautiful fabrics come from, along with Camille for sharing the link.
