How to identify a real Vlisco Wax Hollandais
As part of the anti-counterfeit campaign, Vlisco is continuously educating consumers on the essential features that will help them to distinguish a genuine Vlisco Wax Hollandais.
These features can be summed up as follows:
1. THE SUN: Find our well-known sun on the fabric label and you will see the iconic VVH crest
2. THE DESIGN NUMBER: Compare the number on the selvedge with the number on the white label. In an original this is identical
3. THE SELVEDGE: When we talk about the selvedge, we are referring to the unprinted edge of the fabric.
Look for the words VERITABLE WAX HOLLANDAIS .. VLISCO at one side, while the other side proudly states GUARANTEED DUCTH WAX VLISCO
4. THE LABEL: All Vlisco fabrics are printed in Helmond, Holland, at our own factory. This is proudly stated in our PRINTED BY VLISCO IN HOLLAND statement, on the label
