One of the longest-lived European textile designs for the African market, the eye pattern appears in “Vlisco: African Fashion on a Global Stage” in multiple variations and color ways. The original design was based on Egyptian mythology. As with all Vlisco designs, the names and meanings behind these textiles vary amongst African communities. The eye patterns can be worn to silently express feelings of affection, warning, or jealousy.
