Every Yard
is Unique
Vlisco is synonymous with extraordinary craftsmanship. Each yard of fabric undergoes an intricate process with dozens of steps in it to ensure longevity and impeccable quality, transforming the designs into bold, elegant expressions of individuality. The teams undergo multi-year training to become masters of technique.

There is only one Vlisco.

Vlisco’s signature production process is absolutely unique. The hand-drawn and printed designs are often layered with vein-like crackles and ‘bubble’ marks, resulting in charming traces left behind from highly-specialised, exclusive printing techniques.

Every yard, authenticated by these ‘perfect imperfections’.
