Yea it's nice, yaya is good in tapa cloth, i didn't see this pic before

Now its more refreshing cuz we see more varied models, the other ones all looked alike
So, the fact that the fabric is made of rafia or wood is what makes it a tapa cloth? but not the designs within the cloth, right?

ivorian225: Yea it's nice, yaya is good in tapa cloth, i didn't see this pic before

yea i thought his boubou was different compared to the ones made in bazin, i was suspecting it was made of wood, but i wasn't sure.
In the fashion industry there, some designers use raffia or wood to make tradi clothes, i thought they were just being creative by using these type of fabrics i didn't know rafia and wrapper made of wood was one of the symbols of kru cultures.

tapa(rafia and wood) in itself does not vary in color like akan kente cloth but miss zahui try to modernize adding colors, the fact that the fabric is made of rafia or wood it's tapa, and not the designs within the cloth!

aah ok i c

yeaa i see, raffia and wrapper made of wood is poorly known of ivorians because kru prefer to wear kente cloth to their own tradional cloth, parce que la fabrication est compliqué, en plus si on devait le porter comme les alkan porte le kita on deforestera la civ loool

Sybellah:

very nice, je n'arrivais pas a les poster ici, we can see the influence of forest (wood) in ivorian kru attire

looolz true
but i supposed in the past people used to wear it more, et since c'est seulement l'ecorce, with just a tree i think u can do a lot no? plus t'a pas besoin de coupe l'arbre, no? ma question va te paraitre peu etre stupid mais: si tu ne coupe pas l'arbre et que tu enleves seulement l'ecorce, est ce que l'ecorce est capable de repousser avec le tps? ou l'arbre reste nu pour tjrs?
