The Virgin Islands Council on the Arts (VICA) is excited to announce that the official Virgin Islands Madras fabric is now available for purchase. We sincerely apologize for the delay due to manufacturing challenges and greatly appreciate the community’s patience and continued support. VICA remains dedicated to making the official Madras fabric accessible to everyone.
This vibrant Madras, a symbol of Virgin Islands heritage and culture, can now be purchased at the following locations:
- The Fabric Store and L & C Milliner, St. Thomas
- Ebbe’s Fabric Store, St. Croix
Furthermore, the official Madras fabric is available for direct purchase from the Virgin Islands Council on the Arts. For more information or to place an order, please contact the office at (340) 774-5984 or email shahnaaz.alameen@dpnr.vi.gov.
