The colorful madras material played a significant role in Caribbean culture throughout history.  It is usually imported from India.  Many of the head ties and native attire for both men and women used the madras material in  the Caribbean islands including the  U. S. Virgin Islands.  The material featured here is a sample of what might be available.  The print of the material changes over a period of time.  Sometimes one can order by basic color of red, green, orange,  or black and white. We will only sell by bulk from 25 yards and up.  Learn the secret of the Caribbean Head Tie. .  See Madras outfits from our Festival display in  Native Attire.  We also have Caribbean Cultural Dolls. See what we have in madras stock or send inquires to Madras
