GRM African Textiles

GRM African Textiles is a clothing and fabric shop located in Houston, TX.

Every person has their own unique style and preferences, and it can be tough to find factory-made clothing that suits you just right. From poor fit to uninteresting patterns and fabrics, it can be difficult to feel good in fashion that just isn’t ‘you’.

So what’s a fashionable person to do? Why not consider African prints and textiles that can be custom-fitted to your aesthetic and form? Textiles from Africa are varied in their materials, dyes, patterns, and colors, and have a fascinating history as well! Whether you want to pay tribute to your own heritage with traditional colors, patterns, and prints, or update your wardrobe with pieces that speak to your contemporary aesthetic, our textiles will have exactly what you need.

We have African blouse material that will suit your tastes just right. While many people still enjoy the classic buba style, perhaps some prefer something a little more modern. You don’t have to stick with the loose, long-sleeved version! Create a buba with kente fabric that represents your ideas in complex colors and patterns or Hollandais Super Wax that stands up to repeated wearings and washings with its bold and beautiful prints. Tell a story in a modern silhouette, with short sleeves, a sweetheart neckline, or in a more fitted style! Choose from well-known patterns and motifs and pair them with head ties made of the same, for a more unified, striking look, or choose something in a beautiful contrast to bring out the individual beauty of each piece, as well as the beauty of the wearer.

Choose a wrapper that complements you! Whether you prefer the stronger, more durable raw silk george fabric, or an elaborate, dressy African lace material, you can find what you need here for the perfect iro. Raw silk holds up well to embellishments, such as embroidery, beading, sequins, or cording, making it a popular choice for formal wear. Custom made georges can give you complete control over how you want your clothing to look: from head to toe, you can choose the patterning, colors, drape, and styling of each piece when you choose to have it made custom!

Designing your own clothing and having it fit you just right is a fashion dream come true. So whether you want to update your wardrobe into something fantastic, or find trunk boxes to keep your most beautiful pieces clean and safe, GRM African Textiles has what you need, so stop in today!
