Bazin, the rich dyed fabric that Togolese 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 Lomé cut bazin into the most elegant outfits in West Africa, and a good bazin outfit can cost more than a month's rent. The beating is done by hand, the patterns are unique to each bolt of fabric, and the finished garment announces the wearer's status before they say a single word.
You observe sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, and Anguilla's native ground lizards in coastal waters. You see that residents commonly keep dogs, cats, and iguanas as pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
