The Ghanaian Fashion Industry has experienced their fair share of challenges, but has remained consistent to deliver the best textiles that we see on runways, fashion events and worn more than ever by the younger generation of today.  As one of the largest textile and apparel manufacturers in West Africa, the Ghanaian textile industry has provided some of the most influential fabrics that are sold around the world. With their quality and unique ideas and designs, the rise of cheap  fabrics from Asia has slowdown in consumer spending and not benefiting to the textile printers, preventing local brands getting the exposure that it deserves and slowing the economy. However, with African prints fabric getting all the exposure around the world we have seen the rise in more Ghanaian designers bringing a flare of eclectic and fresh designs to the fashion industry and we hope to see more Ghanaian designers in 2011 bringing us nothing but the best.

As we celebrate Ghana Independence today, we should all try to purchase from African Textile printers, such as GTP, ATL, Tie Die, Batik and all  unique fabrics that are made from Africa. We can only build our economy if we buy from our own people!
