Wax hollandais is a mechanically printed wax-resist cloth developed in Holland, mainly for the African market. It gained widespread popularity in West Africa after the Second World War, becoming a symbol of nationalist revival in the 1960s and 70s.

These fabrics are known for their vivid colours and the natural crackling effect which is created during the printing process. Many are named after occasions, sayings or personalities and their power to convey messages is a key factor in their popularity.

The Vlisco Group designs, produces and distributes these fabrics for the West and Central African market and African consumers in global metropolitan cities. Their head office and design and production facilities are located in Helmond, The Netherlands.

Founded in Helmond in 1846, Vlisco Group is the world’s leading manufacturer of wax-resist printed cloth. It has four brands: Vlisco, Woodin, Uniwax and GTP.

Vibrant colours

The vibrant colours and striking, multicoloured designs of super wax hollandais are a real delight to the eye. Often used to celebrate celebratory occasions in African culture, these fabrics are extremely striking and a must-have for any fashion lover!

These fabrics have a deep vibrancy and natural cracking throughout the colour blocks, giving them a traditional look super wax hollandais that is reflective of African pride. These designs have been made with high-quality, densely woven cotton and Vlisco’s in-house dyes ensure that the deepest vibrancy is achieved.

Like other Wax Hollandais fabrics, a design in liquid wax is printed onto the fabric before it is immersed into a dye bath. This is followed by a ’wax-breaking’ process that results in a pattern of vein-like bubbles across the whole print.

This unique print technique, known as a ‘crackle’, is based on Indonesian batik and makes these fabrics stand out from the rest. It takes an average of 27 steps to complete, resulting in vivid colours and a layering of imagery that can’t be achieved with any other style of print.

Traditionally, these fabrics have been produced using the ’wax relief’ method, which involves applying designs with a wax-repellent liquid or paste before dyeing. The wax or other ink repellent is then removed, leaving a beautiful pattern behind.

Today, most of these fabrics are produced in Holland and are a symbol of class and luxury – akin to brands such as Chanel or Jimmy Choo in Western culture. They are a key part of many African wardrobes and are available in an array of styles and patterns that can be worn for any occasion.

The most defining feature of super wax hollandais is its duo-colour ‘bubble’ print effect. This technique is unique to the Super Wax range and requires an extraordinary level of care and precision, with each piece going through an average of 27 steps before it’s ready to wear!

The duo-colour ’bubble’ print effect of super wax hollandais is achieved by breaking the wax layer on the fabric before it is immersed into sulphur-based dyes. This allows a design in wax to be printed on both sides of the cloth, creating a two-toned effect that’s unlike any other print.

Natural crackling

The natural crackling of super wax hollandais is an extra feature that gives the fabric a special feel. It is similar to the tumbling wax batik effect of Wax Hollandais fabrics, but it also shows how the printing process is made.

The design is first printed in liquid wax, then a base dye like indigo soaks into the cotton around the design, leaving a deep, intense colour. After this, the fabric is immersed in a dye bath to create a pattern of bubbles and crackling.

This technique, which traces its origins to Indonesian batik, is unique and requires an extraordinary level of care and precision. It takes an average of 27 steps to complete, and the result is a print that is both sophisticated and brilliant.

As a super wax hollandais result, each piece of Wax Hollandais is unique. This makes it a perfect addition to any home or wardrobe.

It always features two blocking colours displaying a natural crackling effect, and a third colour may be added but without this effect. The designs are visualized on both sides of the fabric and the two selvedges always have the Vlisco VVH logo and the words SUPER-WAX repeated twice per yard.
