Androsia is a batik fabric and garment 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 has a complete line of women's, men's, and children's batik clothing as well as accessories, home goods, and fabric sold by the yard.rnrnIn 1973, at the same time the Bahamas became an independent country, a small cottage industry was formed by Dick and Rosi Birch of Small Hope Bay Lodge. The idea started when they watched a guest occupy children on a rainy day with a batik craft project. This was a product that they reasoned could be unique, colourful, and 100% Bahamian done. Once the fabric was made, it could be sewn into easy care island garments. This would help employ single women with families, an objective that was especially important to the Birches.rnrnThey developed the concept that each yard would be hand done. Every print would symbolize a natural element found in the Bahamas, and all the colours would be colours pulled right from the islands.rnrnAndrosia is sold throughout the inhabited islands of the Bahamas as well as at the factory outlet store in Fresh Creek, Andros and online at www.androsia.com. Factory tours and batik demos where you can make your own piece to take home are available and booked through Small Hope Bay Lodge - www.smallhope.com. (close)
