[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not cultural appropriation. However, some patterns are great, some are questionable.

Fabrics I wouldn't hesitate using:

A fabric that makes me wonder how the brand hasn't gotten cancelled:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/265662267547?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=265662267547&targetid=1528987488216&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9007531&poi=&campaignid=20387609897&mkgroupid=149368315897&rlsatarget=pla-1528987488216&abcId=9316960&merchantid=8288854&gclid=CjwKCAjw6p-oBhAYEiwAgg2PgsIyqmZ1r69sv3j8aSXewZyoKctpeHocDP-56lNoUy4-JlacMtd0DhoCTRgQAvD_BwE[/quote]

I love the eBay fabric. [/quote]

+1. Are you serious regarding "canceling" the Pierre Frey one? WHy in the world would you consider this print offensive? It is beautiful. Is it just because it is inspired by African art?[/quote]

PP who posted the link. I wouldn’t cancel them, but I’m surprised no one has taken offense with the way the African women are represented. Disregard the beautiful color and pattern combinations. Just look at the way the faces and hair (particularly, the woman with loose hair) are depicted. I don’t think the creator of the drawing is African.[/quote]

Yeah, if the creator was African she’d know Africans don’t have blue and red faces, or disco balls for heads! And what’s with the squiggly abstract bodies? I’m OUTRAGED.[/quote]
