Since 1973, this unique, colorful, and 100% Bahamian product has been made and sold from one of the most undeveloped islands in the Bahamas. The company helps employ single women with families. Every print symbolizes a natural element found in the Bahamas, every color is pulled right from the islands, every fabric is batiked and dyed by hand, and no 2 yards are the same. We strive to keep the original dream and philosophy alive and share it with the world.

Introduction to Androsia
Androsia is a batik fabric and batik clothing manufacturing factory located on the island of Andros in the Bahamas. Since 1973 we have used the beauty of the environment of the Bahamas for inspiration in our print designs and brilliant colours. Androsia is sold on almost all of the inhabited islands of the Bahamas including Nassau, Paradise Island, Grand Bahama, Andros, Chub Cay, the Abacos, Harbour Island, Eleuthera, Cat Island, Long Island, and Exuma. Androsia was the winner of the Silver Jubilee award for 1998. The Silver Jubilee award celebrated 25 years of Bahamian independence. It was given to certain individuals and companies who have made significant contributions to the Bahamas.
The company was originally started as a cottage industry in 1973, the year of Bahamian independence, with two goals in mind. First, to create meaningful employment for locals and secondly, to create a quality product that would, through its design and colour, highlight the beauty of the Bahamas. Androsia is a strictly Bahamian product.
Our fabric designs come out of the cloth using the art of batik. True batik. Every yard is waxed then dyed then cut and sewn right here at Androsia.
I love to visit Bahama to meet some lovely Bahama women.
