Fabricnation

Fabricnation was established in Cape Town in 2007, but it has its roots in a bond forged two decades earlier when two art school students, inspired by their shared love of the African textile tradition, began printing together in a garage.

Now Jane Solomon and Jann Cheifitz, the designers behind Fabricnation, produce and market a textile collection comprising 14 prints. All fabrics are manufactured and hand printed in South Africa, and new designs are added to the collection every six to twelve months..

Having built 20 years of experience in textile design in different parts of the world on their original art-school impulse, Jann and Jane still remain primarily inspired by the African textile tradition, rendered in a modern urban context with its blending of diverse sources and influences to create the fabric of a nation.
