| Welcome to the home of traditional African clothing and fashion. We deal mainly in Hausa style of traditional dress notably the Babbarriga, a Hausa name for a particular style of clothing typical of West Africans dating back to ancient times. It is a type of wide sleeved flowing robe usually decorated with hand-made embroidery. It is made in varieties of styles and fabrics the same old way as handed down from father to son over the centuries.
The style of dress you see on this page is unique to the Hausa people of northern Nigeria, northern Cameroun and the southern part of Niger republic. The fabric is hand-woven from hand-spun cotton and dyed in the traditional way. The embroidery is painstakingly made by hand, exuding a kind of beauty and feel unmatchable by many made with modern day embroidery machines. |
