Hello, love the blog!

Do you or your followers know what kinds of clothing a middle-aged woman from Ivory Coast might wear, both traditional and modern? Thanks in advance for any help!

Modern: regular clothes, same as you and I 😅

As for traditional, I asked my friend, and outside of agreeing with me about modern, she also added this. From an Ivorienne herself:

"The pagne is used to make a lot of different clothing. It's pretty colorful and versatile but it's technically still traditional. So it wouldn't be unusual to see someone dressed like the woman in these pictures everyday. The man would most likely be dressed like that for an event or something though"

"And there's kente/kita clothing which was more originally used for traditional ceremonies or events buts its not unusual to have it be worn as everyday fashion now"

"Or the boubou that can also be both pretty traditional and very casual."

"Don't know prices nowadays, obviously, but it was fairly common for people around me to just go buy fabric at the market they liked and have it tailored. Obviously not your entire wardrobe or anything but having a few pieces tailored wouldn't break the bank"

BAULE NECKLACE IVORY COAST

COLLIER BAULÉ CÔTE D'IVOIRE

Universal symbol of wealth, beauty, power or divinity, in Baulé country, gold embodies numerous functions, such as the computus of a reign, and its strength was used for medicine, justice and even trials by ordeal.

This necklace is a testimony of the know-how displayed by Baulé goldsmiths. It stands out by the extreme delicacy of its intricate patterns and filigree decorations in lost wax. It is composed of sumptuous gold beads that alternate harmoniously between circular, rectangular and tubular shapes. Each type of bead is linked to a precise concept such as a “setting sun” - for the circular beads - or “grains of wheat” - for the tubular beads.
