In Accra from Monrovia for the weekend and this is so helpful!! They sell Batik for 3yds= $25 USD in Liberia, and I KNEW I could find it much cheaper here!

Arabella, I looked down as I read your comment and realized I’m wearing a Mercy Ocansey shirt today. I have no fashion sense at all, but it’s still my favorite shirt, profoundly vibrant, and perhaps I’m fashionable without knowing it.

Louaine and everyone else asking for contacts in Ghana – apologies, I’m in the States these days and only in West Africa a couple of weeks a year. Sorry that I can’t take orders or help make contacts.

Mercy Ocansey’s textile designs and fabrics are my favorite too. I purchased lots of fabrics and clothing from her in the early 90′s. And, decades later the colors are just as vibrant and the clothing just as fashionable as when I first purchased them. So many fond memories of Ghana!!!

Ethan,
We recently went to Accra with a list of fabric stores and found Mercy Ocancy’s batiks and garment styles wonderful. I thought the prices reasonable when you consider the quality of the unique materials. I have enjoyed my jacket and looking at my traveling companions in their Ocancy batiks.

I crave more. How would you hnadle an order by mail?

Thanks

Thanks for the post Ethan. It was very useful to me when I began working on my online clothing store http://www.afrochiconline.com Our goal is to create contemporary clothes using African print.

Accra is such a beautiful city. The people in Ghana are really nice. Their Kente cloths are also exceptional
