Bazin Gbe
Bazin, the rich dyed fabric that Beninese women wear for special occasions, gets its glossy texture from hours of beating with wooden mallets after dyeing. The result is a cloth that catches light like polished stone. Tailors in Cotonou and Porto-Novo cut bazin into the most elegant outfits in West Africa, and a good bazin outfit can cost more than a month's rent.
