Tailors

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.

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