I remember back then when my grandma was still in Lagos, there used to be village meetings and gathering and this was were the women always brought out their latest hollandis 2 piece wrapper; Having the latest wax was a thing of pride, men used to buy the most expensive Ankara fabrics for their wives just to show how much they loved them and wanted them to look good.

Things might be different now girls might prefer to get an Iphone rather than an Ankara dutch wax but the Ankara fabric is still purchased in some families as part of the bride price (yes darlings what do you think goes into those boxes). It has been embedded into our cultural practices, no matter where you come from it is expected that your husband or his family purchase you a box full of clothes preferable the Ankara fabric which is significant because it represents coverage, warmth and riches.
