It is so beautiful, portraying history, culture and designs in the African way just as it were in the beginning from the of the Bronze age Hatti civilization.
Kudos to Lisa Folawiyo, Deola Sagoe, Vlisco, Ituen Basi and the host of others who bring to light through their creative designs fashion wears of the material- please do purchase one now either at stores or from http://www.bhfnetwork.com,http://www.debenhams.com or better still, create yours(the business is booming)
