'Ankara Bloom' African Ankara Print Bloomers for Children

Bold colour. Handcrafted detail. Made to be worn.

The 'Ankara Bloom' Bloomers are cut from vibrant African Ankara Dutch Wax print fabric in 100% cotton, in a striking palette of royal blue, magenta, white, black, muted gold, orange, and emerald green — a rich, jewel-toned print that commands attention. Crafted in small batches using remnant and carefully sourced materials, each pair carries the character of the fabric it's made from.

Designed with comfort and movement in mind, these bloomers work just as well at a weekend market as they do at a dinner out. Pair them with a simple white or black top to let the print speak, or clash boldly with another pattern for a maximalist moment.

• Elasticated waist and legs — easy to pull on and great for growing little ones
• Roomy fit — can be worn comfortably over nappies, nappy pants, or underwear
• Made from African Ankara Dutch Wax print fabric — 100% cotton
• Small-batch, low-waste production
• Handcrafted finish

Care Instructions

To keep the bloomers looking their best:

• Warm machine or hand wash
• Do not tumble dry
• Spot clean — gently dab with a damp cloth and mild soap
• Do not bleach or dry clean
• Air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the print
• Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or moisture

The rich colours of Ankara fabric are best preserved with gentle care.
