About Vlisco&co
Vlisco&co builds a network of young and experimental creative talent across Africa. We connect to listen, debate, define and demonstrate the interpretation of African culture in modern life and how that interpretation will be expressed in printed fabric.
Nowhere in the world will the young generation resonate as they will in Africa.
Vlisco&co will not only hear their voice through its network of creative connections but will offer support and opportunity where it might not otherwise exist.
