The fashion is a very flexible thing that is changing all the time. Along with changing, it also makes up some new trends and styles, comes up with using new kinds of fabrics, materials, and accessories. Sometimes, they are accepted by the society, sometimes not – and in some rare cases they turn out to be a nation’s treasury. This is exactly what happened to the Ankara style.
Due to its cultural motifs, Ankara fabric has got a universal acceptance all around Western Africa, especially in Nigeria. It is featured with the bright colors, mixed in various shapes and prints that provide one with the feeling like you are in a wild Africa, with all those giraffe and zebra prints on them.
One of the reasons of such a great Ankara’s popularity in Africa is that it is much cheaper than the traditional native fabrics, and even than the Chinese ones. For example, such widely-known African fabrics as Aso Oke are used for special occasions only, but Ankara is affordable for everyday use.
Due to its traditional motifs and affordable fabric prices, the Ankara style has spread for almost every item of one’s wardrobe. Starting with the dresses, blouses, skirts, trousers, shoes it has spread onto such clothing accessories as earrings, necklaces, and bags. People have invented their own methods of making Ankara bags at home and started selling them online. Today, it is easy to find all kinds of Ankara bags on sale at the most affordable prices and with a special opportunity to contact the sellers directly asking them about the technology of sewing these kinds of bags.
For those who want to set up their own business or just need some extra source of income – it is worth considering an idea of making your own Ankara bags and selling them on one of the top reliable online markets in Nigeria – Jiji. The best way to start and check whether the business will work is to look around your home, find the unnecessary old bags and clutches, purchase Ankara fabrics on Jiji and create Ankara bags right at your home. Then make a picture of your creation, put an ad on Jiji – the picture together with a description of your bag and how much all African ladies will like it – and wait for your first customer to give you a call.
