Global textile brand Vlisco introduces Vlisco VIBE — a fresh take on its iconic prints, made for the contemporary wardrobe.

Where the brand’s distinctive designs have been woven into moments of celebration and ceremony, Vlisco VIBE now extends that legacy into the rhythm of daily life – from professional to casual occasions, season after season.

Launching this October, the inaugural collection of fabrics arrives in vibrant colourways and modern motifs, built for versatile styling.

To bring it to life, Vlisco has partnered with acclaimed Nigerian fashion designer Lisa Folawiyo, whose signature blend of printed textiles and effortless tailoring defines a five-piece capsule designed exclusively for the brand. Sewing patterns for each of Folawiyo’s designs will be available alongside the fabrics, inspiring customers to recreate the styles and make them their own.

Crafted for effortless movement in fine cotton satin, Vlisco VIBE offers breathable comfort and an elegant drape, creating flowing silhouettes at more accessible prices.

The launch collection features four new designs across 18 colourways, available in two- and four-yard pieces supporting versatile styling for contemporary separates.

Vlisco VIBE redefines the role of print beyond special occasions, making it an intuitive part of everyday style. Each design serves as a creative canvas — a starting point for tailoring, layering, and mixing with existing wardrobe pieces.

Designed for modern lifestyles, the collection transitions seamlessly from day to evening, workdays to weekends.

“Vlisco has always invited people to express themselves, especially during life’s most meaningful moments. With Vlisco VIBE, we’re bringing that same creative spirit into everyday moments. Rooted in 180 years of craftsmanship, the collection reimagines our heritage through a fresh, contemporary lens, with versatile prints that feel relevant and easy to make your own. At its heart is something we deeply believe: the creativity of transforming fabric into fashion is worth preserving, celebrating and passing on.”

— Marlou van Engelen, Creative Director, Vlisco
