Hello everyone, What’s new with you? We are back with an article featuring a talented designer named Sinaï Yaba. We had the fortunate opportunity to meet her in person… so without any further ado, let’s get the “goods” on her from her! 1- Description of Sinaï Yaba: What is Sinaï Yaba? Sinaï Yaba is a “Ready-to-Wear” clothing brand for women, combining French chic fashion with an African touch. To sum up the concept of her brand we could use three words: “solidarity fashion, available to any women”. To better understand her designs check out her new collection named “la Nouvelle Parisienne”. 2- Who are you? I am Sinaï Umba Di-Yaba, I am 29 years old and I am the founder of the brand.

Hello friends ;) Do you remember last summer 2016 ? We spent 3 awesome weeks in Ivory Coast. On that occasion, we visited 2 tailors in Abidjan to run up some outfits that we carefully imaginated thanks to some models on pinterest. Getting everything ready on time was such an assault course !

If we could, we would have brought more outfits but unfortunately we were not able to make it possible since we were very limited (2X23kilos / persons it may not seem much but it goes pretty fast lol). By the way, we can’t wait to go back there to buy as much as loincloths as possible because they are way more cheaper than elsewhere (2000 francs cfa = 3euros). We decided to showcase two colorful troussers suits : a red and yellow printed outfit for G and a yellow and purple one for...

Heey guuuys, We are back. Here we go again for the last post (FINALLY lol !) on our trip to Ivory Coast (We will talk about other subjects equally cool, promised ;). It was just UNIMAGINABLE for us to leave Abidjan hands (luggage) empty. It was absolutely necessary to have african outfits done in wax fabric lol. You should know that the loin cloth occupies a prominent position in the Ivorian clothing culture (and in many other countries in Africa of course ;). Moreover, it is THE basic attire that many women wear, as is the tradition, tied to the kidneys. We also find the loin cloth worn in a more "current" way when used to sew dresses, tops or shirts. Just by walking through the streets of Abidjan, we have noticed the presence of several shops that are dedicated to the sale of wax clothes and wax attire. Advertising for this type of store is very present in the corner. You'll understand the wax fabric...
