Regional/Cultural Day
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.
