'A more exclusive version of Super-Wax, rich in colours and bubbling, and printed with a gloss finish. The most defining (and beloved) feature of a Super-Wax is its duo-colour “bubbling” print effect...
...Grand Super-Wax is a luxurious twist on the original, using Vlisco cotton satin. Grand Super-Wax is made using a highly-unique wax printing technique unlike any other in the world: every piece is created with an unequalled and extraordinary level of care and precision.
First, a design in liquid wax is printed on cotton satin. A base dye such as indigo soaks into the cloth around the wax, leaving behind a deep, intense colour. The magic of the ‘wax-breaking’ during the printing process results in a large, irregular pattern of vein-like bubbles throughout the design.
One single piece of Grand Super-Wax goes through an average of 27 total step before it receives a final gloss finish, and a select number of Grand Super-Wax fabrics are covered from edge-to-edge in transparent glitter.'

I’ve always loved wearing images on my clothes as an expression of my self. Solid colour clothes have their place in my wardrobe too, but there’s just something special about an artistic outfit ☺️

Transforming Textiles: The Power of Digital Textile Printing
In the realm of textile design and manufacturing, a groundbreaking innovation is changing the game: digital textile printing. This transformative technology is reshaping the industry landscape, offering unprecedented opportunities for creativity, efficiency, and sustainability.
Unleashing Creative Potential
With Digital Textile Printing, designers are no longer bound by the limitations of traditional printing methods.
The ability to digitally print intricate designs, vibrant colors, and complex patterns onto various fabrics opens up a world of creative possibilities, allowing designers to bring their imaginations to life with unparalleled precision and detail.
Streamlining Production Processes
Unlike conventional printing techniques that require time-consuming setup and lengthy production timelines, digital textile printing offers a streamlined and efficient manufacturing process.
By eliminating the need for screens and plates, digital printing enables quick turnaround times and on-demand production, allowing manufacturers to respond swiftly to market demands and trends.
Reducing Environmental Impact
Sustainability is a growing concern in the textile industry, and digital textile printing is leading the way in reducing environmental impact.
This technology significantly reduces water consumption, energy usage, and chemical waste compared to traditional printing methods, making it a more eco-friendly option for environmentally-conscious brands and consumers.

See my previous reels to see how this jacket started, and then faded after washing. A true lesson in using the right materials for your means!
It turned out to be a happy accident because all the original stamps left a ghost or shadow effect under the re-stamping. It looks so cool!
I named this the Rider jacket for the bicycle, which is a sentimental symbol for me. It was my first taste of freedom, my first independent transportation, my first RCHP b-side (IYKYK). What does a bicycle mean to you?
