The laaba, shown here, is found

in traditional Ghanaian and Ivorian culture. This colorful, geometrically patterned wrapper is worn by women and girls on special occasions such as weddings, funerals, and naming ceremonies. It is tied around the waist in intricate folds and can be paired with a matching headwrap for a complete traditional outfit. The laaba is not only a fashion statement but also a symbol of cultural pride and identity for many West African women.
