 
There are many stalls and shops to be found in the various craft
markets and hotels in Greater Banjul selling batiks and tie-dye.
These are often used for clothing such as sarongs and shirts as
well as handbags and furnishings such as pillow cases and bed
sheets.
Wax' fabrics are cottons printed with African designs, while damask,
either patterned or plain, are ubiquitous in The Gambia.
The best place to find batiks is in Serrekunda town at

known as the 'Batik
Factory' where you can find on sale lots of textiles such
as wall hangings and clothing items such as shirts, headscarves,
table cloths, pillow cases, bed covers and wraps.
