7. WHAT IS WAX HOLLANDAIS?

Wax Hollandais is a special wax product with one or two core colours ‘fitted’ into the wax design. The designs are very communicative and are always mirrored on the front and back of the fabric. The range and combination of colours used is extremely varied and emphasizes the unique appeal of Vlisco fabrics. One of the colours is often used to highlight a natural bubbling effect, which contributes to a unique and lively appearance. This is the true sign of a quality Wax Hollandais print. Every centimetre of fabric is unique and slightly different from each other due to the organic and magical production process. The appealing designs and unique colour combinations ensure that everyone can express their individual taste and personality.

8. WHAT IS SUPER-WAX?

Super-wax is of the finest quality in wax print fabrics. For this product we use an extra densely woven, fine cotton fabric. Super-wax has a recognizable design signature as it always features two blocking colours showing a natural and unique crackling effect. A third colour may be added but without this crackling effect. The designs are also visualized on both the front and the back of the fabric. The two selvedges always have the Vlisco VVH logo and the words «SUPER-WAX« repeated twice per yard.

9. WHAT IS JAVA?

Java prints are different from the wax prints for the reason that no wax is used. This means that for the Java designs, very fine and detailed motifs are possible in multiple, original and varying colour ways. Colours are traditionally vivid and rich, which creates vibrant, colourful fabrics with beautiful special effects.

10. WHAT IS VLISCO'S PREMIUM QUALITY COTTON?

We’ve improved our fabric’s cotton quality and hope you will like the new fuller and softer feel.

The yarn we are using in the new cotton is of a higher quality and it is spun on new, shuttleless looms with a higher density. Together, this makes the fabric structurally stronger, softer and it will last longer.

You can recognise the new fabric quality by the green selvedge sticker with golden text and sun. The label on the fabric mentions ‘Premium Quality Cotton’.
