FROM SOUTH AFRICADiscover fabricsTrue Story Aboriginal designsOur Aboriginal designs are printed on feather-soft cotton. One of the oldest art forms in the world finds its way into our hearts. In a colorful tradition, many designs reflect the philosophy of the native people of Australia. Aborigines were nomads, ate nature, gathered and hunted. But they would never have done anything to the environment that polluted or harmed them. They adored their beloved country and its environment. That's why the fabrics suit us so well, because they reflect what for True Fabrics stands.FROM AUSTRALIADiscover fabricsTrue Story Batik fabricsThe art of batik is deeply rooted in West Africa. In our high-quality collection from Togo, we will show you which wonderful designs can result from it. The best thing about it: the fabrics are made in a training and production center where girls are trained as batiks and seamstresses free of charge. The sale helps to make the social enterprise supported by donations financially independent. Each piece is unique, a form of expression for its producer and a work of art.
