I am not from Africa and not familiar with African fabrics but I am captivated by its colors and patterns! This was a really helpful introduction for me to learn more!
I am a,subscriber of your sisters chanel, I am from Jamaica and I highly rate Kim Dave's chanel, her content is consistent and high quality, you have started with a base, informing us on fabric, awesome! Continue the good work, looking forward for more!!!!!! I subscribed
I'm in the USA. Somewhere online, I don't remember where, I saw these shiny fabrics that they said were made shiny by soaking the cloth in water with potato starch, and stirring it with a wooden stick, or maybe rolling or pounding it with a stick.
Wow 😳, I've always wondered ow these fabrics got their beauty n now I av a lot more respect for the hard work n techniques put into them, thank u also for the information I'm from Jamaica in the Caribbean n alot of African print is here too
I am from America. I love the Kente and Ankara fabric. This video was so helpful. I have been decorating my apartment with Africa fabrics and Art work and symbols. It is so much to learn. Thanks for making the video!
I'm new to this channel and love how you're giving us the types of fabrics and how they came about. A learning experience for me being an African American woman.
Thank you for a very interesting and informative video. I'm from Poland, but I love African fabrics and prints! I've learnt so much from your video. Keep up the good work! All the best, from Joanna
Great information! Thanks lovely! Just a side note: was watching something about Ghana cloth and apparently Angelina isn't a traditional design from Ghana. Rather a design created by Chinese manufacturers (influenced by their prints). Just thought I'd share the information...would be interesting to see if someone could find out more. I did a quick google search but couldn't find anything! Might be one of those things where you'll have to speak with an elder who really knows about traditional cloth/prints from their country/tribe.
Thank you for uploading this video and for the precious historical aspects of the fabrics. I do believe that this is very important for me and others who want to know how the fabrics were constructed and influenced over their development. I am a beginner at using the fabric and found that we in London are getting several types of what is called African Fabrics but they are not made in African but are influenced by African Fabric. So when they are washed they are known to deteriorate both in terms of thread patterning and colour.
For my Final project I need to pick an artificial item from African Art. I'm currently studying Anthropology African Art. I love how she breaks down every fabric and meaning. I was searching up Bamana Bogolanfini but now I'm interested in Barkcloth (Uganda). I doubt this was mention in the textbook but I am intrigue.
Thanks for sharing. It's interesting to know about the colours used for all fabrics before modern colours were used. I have a passion for the kanga and kitenge of East Africa.
If you're interested in learning more about Ankara prints, here's a video link explaining its fascinating history: th-cam.com/video/HoBLBETcVeo/w-d-xo.html

U forgot to mention akwete,isiagu and akwa ocha from the Igbo people.
You failed to highlight the most popular fabric in west Africa. Especially francophones. The Bazin fabrics
Kente is not "Ashanti". It is Akan and Ewe
Kente is purely Ashanti cloth.
Good morning, can I add this video to our Instagram page
