MADAME TOURÉ'S FASHION

THIS FORMER MUSIC STORE IS NOW A TINY BOUTIQUE,  WORKSHOP AND PARLOR

Pala Pala Music 

35 rue Myrha

Abidjan's Madame Touré creates her wares. 

 

She chats with a friend who drops in as for a salon. Small as it is, the shop is as convivial as the beauty parlors and like an Asian computer store in the 13th (please scroll down), money is not the only goal.

The client on the left observes as Madame Touré makes her headdress. The workshop is behind the man on the right.

 

"Usually clothing in this spirit is sold 

as mass production on the web.

Here we imagine it ourselves and make it by hand."

-- Madame Touré
