Waxing it out

Updated: Dec 13, 2022


The afro-inspired rhythm that flows in our veins makes us appreciate the wax fabric more.

Whether you refer to it as African wax prints, Dutch wax prints or Ankara, it's these cloth designs, together with these of traditional African fabrics, that awakened a need to start and share the experience through Olisha Socks. Expressing our passion about the African continent lets us celebrate its cultures with fashion.


These wax prints were introduced to West and Central Africans by Dutch merchants during the 19th century. Made from 100% cotton, they are printed using a wax-resist method of printing onto cotton that is similar to batik.


Being inspired by traditional African and wax prints, has allowed us to consider quality and comfort while being a sustainable brand for an original, fun addition to your outfit.
