Please follow the care advice detailed below and you will be able to enjoy your Cora & Lea for a very long time:
- Wash separately the first time, although wax fabrics are not used to fade.
- Wash at a maximum temperature of 30 º C. May be machine-washed.
- Do not use bleach.
- Do not use dryer.
- Reverse ironing, low temperature. We note that the heat of the iron can alter the intensity of the colours for a few seconds. This effect is not permanent.
- The pieces made with Wax Seersucker fabric (printed #1803 and #1804, see WAX STORIES) They can not be ironed, because they would lose their peculiar effect of relief.
Our designs have been made with adjustable waist and are flared to flatter all kinds of silhouettes and bring maximum comfort.

The story of African Wax-Print fabrics is fascinating: it’s about encounters between cultures and vibrant aesthetics. These cotton fabrics are today considered as the quintessential African fabric but as a matter of fact they were invented in the Netherlands at the end of the nineteenth century for the Indonesian market, taking as inspiration the batiks of Java.
This fabric combines a golden metallic background with zigzagging motifs in red and black and large medallions printed according to the common wax-block technique. These medallions have four plant motifs facing each other that could well be seeds. In the centre is a drawing of a stool whose shape is reminiscent of the royal seats of the Ashanti people of Ghana.
The black design on a raw medallion representing a winding line framed by two opposing semi-circles belongs to the repertoire of 'adinkra' symbols, the basis of a system of aphorisms that the Ashantis of Ghana created centuries ago. It is known as gye nyame and refers to local religious beliefs.
