Isiago - Aaron International
The vibrant colors, hand-made quality and unique artistic designs of African fabrics and textiles have
stimulated the fashion senses of people from different parts of the world for centuries. The well-known
designers in the fashion industry have started to love African Fabric Patterns and used them in their
sought-after fashion shows.
There’s a rich cultural heritage behind each of the Isiago being sold today and not just a mixture of bright
colors and patterns to entice people to use it. These colors symbolize and represent important roots in
African people from all sectors of their society.
The Akan people of West Africa wear red, brown and black for funerals, white is used for festive
occasions. The Ashanti people of Ghana use gold to represent status and serenity, yellow stands for
fertility and vitality. The color green refers to renewal and growth, stands for birth and death. Blue
signifies their belief in God and the supremacy of the blue sky. Blue also symbolizes purity and harmony.
The color red generally means political passion, resistance and protection. The Ashanti also believe that
red provides protective powers. Black conveys spiritual awareness and union with ancestors.
African Textile Fabrics are the foremost channel of Africans to communicate themselves and their rich
historical backgrounds. The origin started around the eleventh towards the thirteenth century. The fabrics
are made from any of these clothing production techniques like dyeing, weaving, printing and
embroidering methods.
Fibers used are mostly cotton, silk, raffia, bark and linen. African fabrics are rarely produced with just
one method. The skills and craftsmanship exhibited in each hand made assembly is truly admirable
making these African textiles an important art authentic collection.
