III.5.5. TEXTILES AND TAILORS

MENU:  3.5.5. Textiles & Tailors

TEXTILES ARE EASY TO PRODUCE AND TRANSPORT, DO NOT BREAK OR SPOIL AND DEMAND FOR THEM IS INFINITE

 

Like coiffures, they drive the « looks » that bring shops, tailors and inspiration from African roots.

Textiles and their ramifications

• "Wax," a symbol of Africa

• Start at the textile hub next door and stroll down the slope

• Stores almost as omnipresent as the barber shops

• Shops for notions follow the textiles

• Young tailors' energy

• Embroidery, a royal ornamentation

• Plebeian prints gain their letters of nobility
