Rather than buy clothes at a store, most people in
Niamey buy fabric, and then get clothes custom made at a tailor.
Most of the fabric these days is made in
China, and uses a cotton-polyester blend.
Some cloth is made in
Nigeria,
Ghana,
Ivory Coast, but very little is made in
Niger.
The high end fabric is often made in
Holland.
Here is a picture of Chris with George, our tailor.

That's so cool! I would feel a little special knowing that someone made me a garment just for me :)
